Features that Cost Fortunes

This is a day of specialists. The time has gone by when agreat magazine can
be built up by occasional writers, The magazine of the future will be entirely the
product of specialists. SUCCESS MAGAZINE is building up a staff of strong, vigor-
ous specialists, each one of whom will make a study of some particular subject
which is of vital interest to the people of this country. SUCCESS MAGAZINE aims to
give its readers the best product of the best brains in the world ; and it will spare
no pains or expense to secure the most interesting material that ingenuity and
money can procure. Some of the features which we have published in the past
have cost five thousand dollars apiece. We shall give our readers better things іп
the future, for it is our policy always to give more than we promise,

W. J. Bryan on International Affairs

Mr. Bryan, who is on a two years' tour of the world, is making some very im-
ortant investigations for SUCCESS MAGAZINE оп certain questions which have
ately assumed an international interest. He will spend considerable time in China,

and will give this magazine a graphic account of the Chinese boycott of American
goods nnd a resumé of the whole question of how America is likely to be affected
in the future by the Chinese, He will also write for us his observations on the situ-
ation of foreign markets and international trade relations, and will make a special
study of the communities which operate public utilities,

Samuel Merwin on Progress

It is doubtful whether any young writer has made greater strides in public
favor during the last two years than Samuel Merwin, who has become a favorite
with our readers by his forceful articles on industrial and financial topics. His
"Тһе Great Speed Trains of America," in our October issue, attracted such wide
[omnc attention, and was so widely quoted and brought so many appreciative
etters to this office, that the editor requested him to write a companion article
showing the latest achievements in shipbuilding. Accordingly, Mr. Merwin took
passage оп the new giant steamship " Amerika,” the largest and most palatial craft
that ever sailed the seas, in order to study this latest triumph of ocean palaces,
The safety, luxury and comfort that are afforded by the floating palace hotels that
Лу between America and the Old World are a part of modern advancement. Mr.
Шеген also has several other important commissions from this magazine, He will
interview noted men abroad on topics of vital interest.

Vance Thompson on Diplomatic Affairs

Many people regard Vance Thompson as the most fascinating of American
writers, The tens of thousands of SUCCESS MAGAZINE readers who have been
charmed during the last two years with his brilliant articles will be pleased to know
that he is to contribute during the next year some of the most important work he
has ever written. His long residence in Europe, his intimate knowledge of inter-
national politics, and his close acquaintanceship with such men as President Loubet
of France, Sergius Witte, Lord Lansdowne, Von Bulow, King Leopold and other
famous diplomats has given him entrée to those circles in which are settled the
great disputes of nations. Mr. Thompson was the compiler of the celebrated De
Blowitz letters. In the future he will be commissioned to write about all the
important political and international affairs that, sooner or later, become '' Dip-
lomatic Mysteries."

Hosmer Whitfield on Foreign
Captains of Industry

While owing to a difference in journalistic methods little has been heard of the
captains of industry of Europe, they do exist and direct enormous industries. The
interesting personalties of these men are scarcely known even to the. European
public. Hosmer Whitfield was specially commissioned by SUCCESS MAGAZINE
to visit and Investigate the great shipbuilders, metal workers, manufacturers and
inventors of Europe and has seeured Some ‘stories’

Our Art Department

EN years ago it was not considered necessary

| to illustrate a magazine beyond a few pictures
that might illumine the text. To-day it is an
equal factor with clever literature in the **make-
up'' of any publication worthy of a standard rank.
Good artists are more difficult to secure and de-
mand more remuneration than ever before, Ме-
chanical devices for the reproduction of high-grade
work im half-tone and color have almost reached
the асте of the inventor's art. We are taking
advantage of all these conditions and have im-
proved. our art department to meet the demand of
the time. Our cover designs, which have been
so noted in the past, will be even more striking
in the future. Success MAGAZINE probably pays
the highest price of any magazine in America for
its cover designs, |. C. Leyendecker, the best
cover designer in America, is one of our staff of
artists, А fine sample of his exquisite workman-
ship is shown in our Christmas issue. Guernsey
Moore, one of the best artists in the United States,
will furnish a number of cover designs during
1906, E. M. Ashe, Clyde O. De Land, H, G.
Williarnson, Charles Sarka and other noted
artists will also paint covers. The inside pages will
be adorned with the best work of such artists as

The Progress of America

The policy of SUCCESS MAGAZINE is to build up and not tear down. We shall
publish during the coming year forcible and instructive articles which will mark
the strides of progress and show the great possibilities of different sections of our
country.

There is nothing which Americans are quite so proud of and so interested in,
as the story of our progress as a people. The growth of America has been the
most marvellous thing in all history. The story of its progress reads like romance.
It is the romance of business conceived in the imagination, in the workshop, in the
small corner store, on the farm, the home, and finally put into shape as the great
steel plant or the factory, shipping its products to every corner of the globe.

During 1906 we shall present a series of articles illustrating what President
Roosevelt termed, 'our unexampled prosperity." "These articles will be written
around the industries that have made America the foremost mercantile country in
world. Тһе first article in the series will be entitled ''Steel," and will be written
by Frank Fayant, a journalist of great ability who has made a reputation for his
reliability and great capacity of investigation.

Other articles embracing the great industries for which our country is noted
will follow. In addition to Mr. Favant, and other writers to be announced, we will
mention the following contributors to this series :— William Jennings Bryan, David
Graham Phillips, Hosmer Whitfield, Hartley Davis and Henry Harrison Lewis.

The Real John D. Rockefeller

By WALTER WELLMAN

Much has been written about this important man—the leading factor in the
world of finance and commerce—a great, silent creature who says little and sees
по опе, In Mr. Wellman's article will be portrayed the true Rockefeller, the man

Humor and Anecdote

A magazine that deals so strongly and strenuously with the affairs of the day
must needs pay attention. to the humorous side of life, For this reason we will
extend the space allotted to mirth-provoking literature in the future. There will
be humorous stories by Charles Battell Loomis. Ellis Parker Butler, Charles F,
Martin, H. D. Varnum, Felix G. Pryme, Sy H. Perkins, James W. Foley and
many other men who have made the world better for smiles, "Then, too, we will
publish a number of humorous poems by Wallace Irwin, whose ver work has
already delighted our audience. Mr. Irwin is, perhaps, the greatest writer of
humorous verse since W, S. Gilbert laid aside his реп, Nixon Waterman and
Holman Day will also contribute humorous verses, from time to time.

News for the Family Circle

The home is the backbone of the nation, and we have no hesitation in saying
that our Home Department will he the backbone of SUCCESS MAGAZINE during
the year 1906. We will publish each month, a number of departments con-
ducted by specialists in their various lines, which will be absolutely indispensable
to all who wish to be a success in the full and true sense of the word, It does not
matter whether the reader is a man or a woman, a boy or a girl, he or she will find
in this section of the magazine reading matter that will be not only absorbingly in-
teresting and entertaining, but really vital in its helpfulness—mentally, physicially,
and socially,

It will help the anxious mother, whose paramount thought is the proper care
and training of her children. It will help the busy housewife who is anxious to
make her home attractive, to lighten her labors by doing things in the best way, to
give her husband and children the food that will tend to make their bodies sound
and vigorous and their minds healthy and active, It will help the young man and
young woman who want to know how to behave in society, or to act in difficult and
delicate situations, It will help the girl who wants to select and wear her clothes
to the best advantage, to adapt a limited wardrobe to many occasions, and to choose,
or make for herself, the little but important accessories which will insure a success-
А It will help the young man who wants to be correctly dressed on all

fui foduerte

occasions without being-extravagant or а "dude!" It will help the young man
ind young woman (and we find there are many of them,) who want to have ques-
tions answered in regard to any problem which they can not solve for themselves.

All the readers of SUCCESS MAGAZINE, no matter what their age or , may
come to our Home Department with perfect confidence that a personal interest will
be taken in them, and that the conductors of this Department will do everything in
their power to help them to a solution of their difficulties, whatever they may be.

A few of these specially and authoritatively conducted departments are given
below, merely as ап earnest of what SUCCESS MAGAZINE proposes to do in this
jirection

Some of the noted women who will contribute to the Home Department are:
Margaret Deland. Mary Stewart Cutting, Elizabeth Jordan, Charlotte Perkins
Gilman, Harriet Prescott Spofford, Josephine Wright Chapman, Manon Harland,
Martha McCulloch-Williams, Christine Terhune Herrick, Isabel Gordon Curtis,
and Helen Campbell.

How the Sweat Shops and Facto-
ries Are Grinding Hope, Ambition
and even Life out of Little Toilers

Frontispiece by John Boyd
Life sketches by William Oberhardt

LAST summer some Americans traveling in

Italy stopped aghast at a sight that met
them on the outskirts of Palestrina. А child
of about six was plodding steadily between a
small quarry and ап unfinished house, with
each trip bearing on her head a large stone for
the builders. ‘These stones averaged at least
twenty-five pounds in weight, and the child
could not lift them alone; one of the elders
busy at the same task would poise the burden
for her, and it would be taken off at the other
end. The face under the stone was gravely
uncomplaining: already the back showed а
deep incurve. MI the spring—the elasticity of
growth,—seemed crushed out of the little figure.
The Americans were horrihbed. They put ques-
tions, protested, and did what they could to get
the burden lifted. Then they exclaimed to

NEW YORK

DECEMBER
1905

one another: ‘You don’t see such things in
America!" “Thank God, a child can't be
treated like that, at home!"

Not long ago a child of six walked down
Avenue D, in New York City, carrying on her
head a load of sweatshop **pants"—they are
not trousers, at that price,—weighing not less
than twenty-five pounds. She had to walk sev-
eral blocks with it and climb four flights of
stairs; and when it was removed her work was
only just beginning, for the endless buttons—
twelve to a pair,—were to be sewed on by the
brown claws that gripped the bundle. She
passed many Americans on her way, but no one
noticed, and no one was horrified. Several times
a week she has trudged over the same route
under the same weight, in this land where “а
child can't be treated like that," without arous-
ing any public indignation. Do we have to go
abroad before we can see? Pants on Avenue D
are less picturesque than stones in Palestrina,
but their dead weight is sagging the little back
down just as effectually, and this is not an
exceptional case. We have laws about chil-
dren’s work and men who enforce them. Yet,
all through the tenement districts of New
York, there are children who, in one way or
another, carry stones.

The Stunted Child Will Certainly Become an Indigent
_ With the sentimentalist, the protest against
this fact spends itself in individual relief,—a
few burdens lifted, and the system left un-
touched. But to the reformer the pathos is not
so important as the frightful wastage. Every
child stunted, mind, body, or soul, means a
future citizen who will be a care or à menace—
in both cases, an expense,—to the state. Every
chill denied schooling mens an illiterate
citizen, and every strained body means an adult

who will be unableig earn his le cubic feet

ofair. The philanthropist
grieves over the child de-
nied his birthright, while
the reformer grieves for
the state denied its full
working capacity, and
the consequent burdens
thrown forward upon the
poor of the generation to
come: both views work
together for good, even if
their holders occasionally
do not.

The New York law de-
clares that no child under
fourteen shall work for
hire, and no child between
fourteen and sixteen who
can not read and write
simple sentences in ;the
English language, and
show thathe has attended
school one hundred and
thirty days during the
previous year: he must
be of normal height and
development, and his day
is limited to nine hours.
It is a just law,—good for
the present industrial con-
ditions,howeverthe future
may improve on it. In
the mills and factories it
can be more or less rigor-
ously enforced, but there
isa vast field of child labor
at home that this law does
not and can not touch.

To understand this, follow the six-years-old pants-bearer and her
mother—whose load is thrice as big,—up the four flights of their tenement,
as I did. Ап offer to help the little girl with her pack was introduction
enough, and a few stray words of Italian established friendship on the
long journey up. They are dark stairs, askeleton of stoneandiron, with
walls of lurid pink and green, smeared and blotched and broken, and the
stale air reeks of indecent poverty. Half naked babies crawl out into
the hall to peer through the banisters at us; a careworn little girl of about
seven is sitting on a step rocking a shrieking child, her little shoulders
strained with his weight, but her face maternally patient. “Hello,
teacher!” calls a child of school years,—almost any woman visitor is
addressed as "teacher" in the tenements. To the question, “Why
are n't you at school?" she replies with a vague murmur about a sore
finger, and a moment later she is vanishing with cautious speed down the
stairs. At the same time a grimy little boy passes with a can that is
obviously on its way to the saloon for beer,—two broken laws exhibited
in the space of sixty seconds.

The Lifa of the Tenements Is a Sordid One,—

Тһе door of the apartment we are seeking stands open to the odors

of the hall, and the owners, being Italians, smile shy welcome, setting
out a chair, throne-like, in the middle of the main room, even while their
hands are busy at the bundles; for they go to work at once, without so
much as a preliminary stretch. Moments must be very precious іп this
household. Тһе room is amazingly dirty. А battered, broken stove
proclaims it to be the kitchen, though a disreputable cot
and a scarecrow bureau make claims for it as a bedroom.
One is conscious of the dirt of discouragement as well as
the dirt of ignorance. The hands that designed that
remarkable bureau cover of orange ribbon and pale green
lace must once have been directed by an ideal of home
brightness; they could not have suspected that their hand-
iwork would one day be the resting place for a black
iron soup kettle and a disreputable pair of boots. Frag-
ments of a gay cover still adhere to the cushion in the
company chair, and the woman, for all her hurry, steals a
moment to thrust a grimy shirt under the cot. Decidedly
there have been better days in this household.

Тһе light is dim, for the only window opens on an air
shaft, if air it may be called that comes from that foul well.
Adjoining is another room, a dark hole entirely filled with
а bed,—the inhabitants must get іп over the foot. Lying
on this, now, is а two-years-old, asleep, and a boy of ==
about eleven with a flushed face and heavy eyes. Itlooks
suspiciously like measles, and the little girl, recognizing
the word, nods that that is probably the case; her minia-
ture shrug adds that it can not be helped,—that life is all
more or less measles and pants, and we must take what
comes. The bundles are dropped on the bed beside the

boy, and he curls up against them while his

mother and sister fly to work, the mother at

finishing, the little girl at the buttons. The

child’s hands are small, and the cloth is stiff,

but she tugs at her needle with a patience far

more touching than rebellion. She sits as

close as possible to the meager window, but " ft) |
already her eyes show signs of strain. They | 8

are dull eyes, except for a momentary sweet- | W \
ness when she smiles. All the frail new |, | m.
growth of her age is being relentlessly , | 1

pounded down, leaving arid vacancy. All
her human possibilities are being exchanged
for about ninety cents a week.

As things are, there is no help. So long
as the law licenses the tenements for manu-
facture, and so allows the mother to bring the
work home, the children willhelpher. Fifty
thousand inspectors could not patrol the tenements sufficiently to pre-
vent this: if it were tried, some small sentry would always sound the
note of warning, and the official, on his arrival, would find only the
mother working, while the little children would be playing innocently
upon the floor.

Neither the mother nor little Giulia can speak English, so intercourse
is limited until Maria comes home from school,—a middle-aged little
girl who falls to work with incredible swiftness, and who can “finish” as
neatly and quickly as her mother. My presence is explained in a ripple
of Italian, and from her I learn the short and simple family annals. The
father is out of work,—a faint shrug suggests that he is often out of work;
the rent for the three rooms—for there is a still darker hole beyond
occupied by two boarders,—is nine dollars a month; her mother usually
begins at five in the morning, little Giulia sews seven or eight hours a day,
and she herself works from school until bedtime, an hour that varies from
nine until half past twelve,—good preparation for profiting by the day's
lessons! The family income averages between six and seven dollars a
week, Pietro, now on the bed, works, too, when he is not sick; but on
this point she.is reticent. What Pietro adds to the family income is not
made clear just then.

The Boys and Girls of these Workshop Homes Never Have Time to be Young

Maria herself is thirteen, and can go to the factory next year,—she
says it eagerly. She is undeveloped, heavy-eyed, nervously shrill at
slight provocation,.and her back has the tragic, elderly look of wizened
youth. She has never had time to be a little girl. It is a discouraged,
joyless household, and the baby tugging at her needle is as old as her
mother. A little arithmetic shows that, after providing for the rent,
from fifty to sixty-five cents a day remains for the living expenses of five
people, irrespective of what the father and Pietro may occasionally con-
tribute; and you will remember having read somewhere that the “есо-
nomic efficiency" of five people can not be maintained in New York ata
cost much less than two dollars a day; that is, they can not be nourished
and housed for their proper welfare at a smaller expenditure. Looking
at the tired faces and the undeveloped bodies of the children, you wish
you had not done that sum; and how you wish that Pietro would remove
his measled person from the pants!

When this latter wish is finally suggested to Maria, she confides to vou
that that is nothing,—that, when Mrs. Rosini on the floor below had
smallpox, she went on making flower and feather ornaments for the hair
just the same for a week, till she got so bad they had to tell the doctor, when
he took her away. I could go down and ask her about it myself if I
doubted it; they were lovely ornaments,—for ladies’ hair,

I, too, in my day, had worn hair ornaments; it was a shuddery
thought. Finding that the smallpox episode was eight months back, I
do make a passing call upon Mrs. Rosini, Maria calling
over the banisters that I am a friend of hers, for she can
not stop work long enough to accompany me down and
make the introduction.

Now there is a tale told rejoicingly among social
workers of a writer who went,one early morning, notebook
in hand, to one of the settlements, and asked to see the
head. “Тат going to write a book on the slums," she
explained, briskly, “and I intend to devote this whole day
to studying the subject. I want you to tell me just where
to go!" Had this earnest student paused in the doorway
of Mrs. Rosini's apartment, she would have seen a fairly
clean, bright room, with holy pictures on the walls and a
window that even let in a modest patch of sunlight; half
a dozen little children at a table were fashioning petals
into flowers,—surely as pretty and harmless an occupation
as making paper dolls or scrapbooks; a kindly-looking
woman was busy with a green wreath set with tiny bril-
liants. Nothing could be farther from the conventional
idea of a sweatshop, and the student would go away won-
dering contemptuously at the cranks who are straining to
abolish such innocuous occupations.

No one would be apt to tell her about the smallpox
episode, so she will not know that work done in the

tenements is a constant menace to public health; that manufacturing of
every sort, from wigs to bahy clothes, is daily done in the same room
with diphtheria, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and other contagious diseases,
the door being kept locked and the work whisked out of sight at the
coming of an inspector. She will not realize that the little girl of eight
who is thrusting violet petals on а stamen sometimes works far into
the night and all day Saturday and Sunday, and so is diminishing her
power to make good use of her schooling. She isa gay-hearted little
thing, entirely willing to work, and the child of four, who stands beside
her smoothing petals with her stubby fingers, is proud of her part in the
task and eager for the time when she, too, can toss finished violets
upon the growing pile. It looks pretty and harmless; but with the
school child it is done at the cost of exercise and play, and the world is
realizing more clearly, every year, how absolutely essential these are
to a child's development.

The Law Should Forbid Absolutely any Manufacturing Work іп the Tenements

Worse than arrested development, out of the nervous strain of too
much work in childhood come disorders, moral as well as physical. It
has been said, with authority, “Idleness in young years is not so prolific
of immoral and criminal leanings as is premature employment." Pre-
mature! This baby of four smoothing violet petals is already earning,
haps, fifty cents a week; and they tell of an infant of eighteen months

g found assisting at passementerie-making by splashing its little
hands in a bowl of glue and beads, the mother fishing out the latter as
they became properly coated; and there was published, recently, the
story of a woman and six children under eleven years of age who lived in
a basement and for four dark and filthy years kept body and soul im-
perfectly connected by folding paper bags,—from one hundred thousand
to one hundred and fifty thousand a week, and the price going steadily
down from seven cents a thousand to
four cents. She was at last discovered
and given help, the children being sent to
school; but who knows how many more
women are toiling in the black holes of
New York, helplessly feeding the bodies
and souls of their children to the relent-
less wolf at the door?

There is a way to find out, Accord-
ing to Dr. A. S. Daniel, who has been
for many years a worker among the
East Side poor, the remedy must be
drastic,—forbid the manufacturer to have
any part of his work done in a tenement
house. With all this manufacturing trans-
ferred to factories, which could be pro
erly inspected, the child worker айк 4
necessarily be set free; school, day
nursery, and public playground must
attend to his case when the mother is
obliged to ро. And now comes the in-
. evitable protest,—the poor widow who
can not live without her children’s earn-
ings! She exists, without a doubt,—we
have just seen her in the paper-bags
family; but do you realize what also
exists, a product of this child-labor sys-
tem? It is the parasitic father.

It is an unlovely human attribute to
let others do the hard work if they will.
The labor of women and children, at first
undertaken merely to help out, has bred
a set of hulking loafers who make
scarcely a pretense of working, and no
pretense whatever of caring for their
own. Make manufacture difficult for the
women, and impossible for the children, by taking it out of the home,
and a new crop of these parasites will not be forthcoming. The destitute

. - widow must be provided for; but she is
not soomnipresent as the charitable often
believe. And the woman who spends the
years of child-bearing bending over un-
wholesome work while the man idles and
drinks is not only an object of pity;
she is also a factor for harm, definitely
crippling the future.

Both of these homes, the miserable
one on the fourth floor and the more
cheerful one on the third, typify the evil
done by child labor. Maria’s father was
earning good pay and doing well by his

' own until he fell ill, six years ago. То
tide over, his wife took in sweatshop
work, and thereby Pietro, Senior, learned
the fatal lesson that it is easy for women
and children to earn money, and that
the streets offer more attractions than

the soap factory,to a convivial spirit.
At intervals he obtained jobs, but
his skill in losing them was yearly
increasing. His wife had given up
remonstrating: it was more profitable
to bend steadily over the work.
Mrs. Rosini’s husband was made
of better stuff and worked faithfully
in a paper-box factory; but the evil
of child labor was hampering him in
another way,—that of competition
in his shop, for it is an economic
fact that the cheap labor of children
reduces the wages of men. Dr. Felix
Adler has spoken significantly on
this point, as follows:—
Economically it is brought home to us
that the wages earned by children are not
really an increase of the family earnings;
that, where there is competition between
children and men, the wages of the men
are thereby reduced; so that a family in
which man, woman and child are bread-
winners may not earn more—sometimes
earns less,—than the income gained by the
man when the man alone is the bread-
winner. Ж + * It is better for the state
to furnish outright relief than to see the
standard of living of whole sections of the
population lowered by child competition,

'The children of others were competing with Rosini, and so his children
had to work. That sunny room, gay with artificial flowers, was as much
part of an injurious system as the dark
and dirty hole on the floor above.

А product of the system as unlovely
as the parasitic father is the greedy
mother, who sees her children primarily
as assets. She is no myth of sentimen-
tality, this grimly practical parent, Nor
is she intentionally cruel. Now and then
she is dissipated and hardened, but
usually the fact that she has slaved all
her days herself is for her a perfect reason
why herchildren should do thesame; she
is too ignorant to realize what might be
gained by a more liberal upbringing. Ап
Italian woman was heard to say com-
placently, in regard to her rapidly in-
creasing family: '*Oh, yes, maka da babe
now, maka da babe all a time; bimeby
babe maka da mon, we go back to
Italia!" She was simply providing for
a comfortable future, which was to
begin as soon as possible.

I know a boy of thirteen on whom
rests the burden of his entire family: a
loafer father, a mother who drinks, and
two little children. Tim’s face is heavy,
unsmiling, and incapable of lighting up,
though it can lower on provocation. He
betrays not one glimmer of the thoughts
within him, if thoughts there Бе. “Тіп-
mie's a good son; he helps his people,"
says his mother, in richly wavering ac-
cents. “Не don't go on the street,
neither, He's a good boy." Timmie
stands dull and silent under the tribute;
he looks neither gratified nor sarcastic.
Forbidding manufacturing to the tenements would not help him, for he is
in a factory and legally capable of working. Nothing can help him but
two handsome Irish funerals. But the Timmies of the future,—some-
thing can help them. And that something is the great fist of public
opinion, demanding and enforcing laws that shall gradually put the
child out of the economic equation.

The Free Life of the Newsboy Does not always Bring Out His Best Qualities

Mrs. Rosini gave me the clue to Pietro of the measles. It seems that
when he touches the street below he becomes Pete, an exceedingly active
newsboy, licensed to sell papers outside of school hours, and usually
earning at least fifty centsa day. Pete, who went to work at the age of
seven, used to help his family with his earnings, turning over proudly his
little handful of nickels and pennies. His smallness made up for his
ignorance of business ways; for, if you will notice, patrons nearly always
choose the younger boy to buy of; if he is so small that his presence on the
street is absolutely inhuman, they are apt to bid him keep the change.
It is the popular idea of kindness. Thus babyhood became a valuable
business asset on the street, before the newsboy was obliged to carry a
license and to prove his ten years. In point of fact it may still be found

“Туосам!” called Mr. Fogarty.

Dugan was standing on the top step of a
wabbly stepladder, nailing the eighth letter of
the motto, "Peace On Earth, Good Will To
Men,” on the wall above the stage in Prendergast
Hall. His mouth was full of wire nails, and
the gilt cardboard letters, A, R, T, and H, were
clasped between his shaking knees. He looked
down and frowned.

“Phwat?” he asked. ;

“Come on down," said Fogarty. “Oi want
a word wid ye.”

Dugan was the janivor of Prendergast Hall
and the boss of it, but Fogarty was the head of
the Janitors’ Union, so Dugan came down.

“Phwat is ut?" he asked. He still held his
hammer in his hand, ready to go on with his

ob.

: ) “Ye те called out," said Fogarty. ''Pren-
dergast is havin' his kitchen whitewashed by
th' nagur, Diggs, who is outside th' White-
washers’ an’ Kalsominers’ Union, an’ th’ Con-
federation has boycotted Prendergast. The
Whitewashers’ an’ Kalsominers’ Union requists
every union man not t’ work for Prendergast, an’
in me capacity of Prisidint of th’ Janitors’
Union Oi order ye t' come out on strike. Will

Dugan emptied the nails from his mouth and
laid the hammer on a step of the ladder.

"Shure!" he said; “shure will Oi come."

He looked up at the uncompleted motto.

“But 't is too bad th’ nagur got th’ job just
whin th' ladies of th' mission is in need of th'
help of me!"

Miss Willis, who had been filling red mosquito
netting stockings with candy, and Miss Jones,
who had been tying strings around pink pop-
corn balls, saw that something was wrong and
came over to where Dugan was standing.

“There 'll be no Christmas fer yez, this year,
ma'm," said Dugan, "and don’t blame me,—
't isa nagur done ut. Oi 'm called out on strike,
ma'm, an’ th’ hall will be shut up, fer there ’s
no wan t' janitor ut fer vez."

Miss Jones and Miss Willis looked at each
other aghast. Тһе North Star Mission Sunday

School had been meeting in Prendergast Hall

for years. There was no other auditorium in
the South End available, and all the little mis-
sion scholars had been invited to the Christmas
Eve exercises. There was to be a programme
and singing, and then the beautiful Christmas
ladder, evergreen-bedecked, and covered with
candy and pop corn and presents, and Mr.
Henley as Santa Claus to climb the ladder and
make the joyous distribution.

Dugan rubbed his red hair sympathetically
and frowned, while the ladies talked rapidly
together.

“Go awn down,” said Dugan to Fogarty;
“Oi will pick up me tools an’ be wid ye.”

Fogarty went out.

“И only Mr. Henley was here!” said Miss
Jones. “А man knows so much better what
to do.” ‘

Mr. Henley was the mission’s only man.
came because Miss Willis came.

“We might get him to janitor for us that one
evening,” suggested Miss Willis.

“ And who would be our Santa Claus?” asked
Miss Jones.

Miss Willis looked at Dugan. With his red
whiskers he did not look much like the white-
bearded Christmas saint, but neither did Mr.
Henley. There was a mask
and a wig to fix all that.

“Not me!" said Dugan,
quickly, when he saw Miss
Willis glance his way. `
“Oi’m on strike!"

^ But, Mr. Dugan,—" be-
gan Miss Willis. She was
quite ready to cry, they had
worked so hard and the
thing had promised so well.
The ladder was a great im-
provement over the ordinary
Christmas tree. The year
before they had had a bell,
made of hoops covered
with greens, and the chil-
dren had enjoyed it so!

of the International Union."

Dugan rubbed his chin.

“Oi dunno, is there, mebby, a Santa Claus
Union?" he said, slowly. ‘They be so hang

Claus loike, now? Phwat is th’ job of him?”

“Well,” said Miss Jones, cheerfully, ‘ай

"Of course," said Miss
Jones, “we wil pay you

rick. They are a little less
than for Santa Claus."

Her eyes twinkled as she
said it, but Dugan received
sia it soberly.

little enough did they pay double wages for a
man t’ pretend t’ be а Dutch saint. 'T is a
wonder annywan but a scab will tek th’ job.”

Miss Willis took from a basket the costume
that had served long and well as а garb for
Santa Claus. Dugan looked at it.

“Phwat 's thim?” he asked.

“You wear these when you are San—Saint
Patrick," explained Miss Willis.

"Red!" said Dugan; 'thim is no Saint
Paterick uniform. Thim is th’ duds of a dang
Britisher. "T was th’ good ould green Saint
Pat was afther wearin’! Hev ye no green wan?"

"No," said Miss Willis, hesitatingly. She
looked at Miss Jones questioningly.

* We can make a green one,” said Miss Jones,
promptly. “If you will help us with the decora-
tions of the hall we can make a green suit
to-morrow morning, and then your wages will
begin now."

Dugan thought a moment.

“Oi hate t’ do ut," he said; “but "t will
not matter, th’ afthernoon."

He stooped down and picked up the loose
red trousers and began to draw them on.

"What—" began Miss Willis, but Miss
jones put her finger on her lips. Dugan
slipped into the stuffed red coat and buttoned
it. He looked at the long white wig and the
mask with its white beard, and hesitated.

"T don’t think you need wear the face,
this afternoon," suggested Miss Jones; “you
can see better without it."

* Where did Oi put th' hammer?" asked

Dugan, “ап” which wan af these letters goes |.

up nixt?”

Fogarty came in as Dugan reached the top
of the ladder.

“Tim,” said Fogarty, and then he caught
sight of Dugan's red rim of whiskers above
the plumply padded red stomach of the Irish
Santa Claus.

** Phwat th'—," he began, and as suddenly
stopped because there were ladies present.

“Go awn down," said Dugan, “ап” tell
Prendergast Oi 'm sthriken', so he 'll know ut.
Oi 've taken a timporary job, Fogarty, wid th'
Union of Sunday School Missions, as Saint
Paterick, an’ this is me uniform.”

Fogarty grinned.

“Yer a moighty red Saint Paterick, thin,
Dugan,” he said.

“Бей?” said Dugan; “red, is ut? Shure, Oi
know now phwy ye quit railroadin’, Fogarty.
Red? 'T is green, Fogarty,—grass green, ye
see, but ’t is color blind ye Бе.”

Тһе next evening Dugan was on hand early,
and he put on the green suit with great pride.
He could hardly sit still in the little dressing
room off the stage while the earlier portion of
the exercises was going on, he was so anxious

** He stopped because there were ladies present "

to appear before the audience. Mr. Henley,
little and bald and spectacled, was everywhere.
At one moment he was poking the fire in the
barrel stove, the next he was finding a seat for a
late comer, and the next, opening or lowering a
window.

There were Christmas carols by the whole
missión, and a little talk by Miss Jones, and
more carols by the mission collectively, individ-
ually, and in groups, but all the while the chil-
dren restlessly awaited the lighting of the candles
on the tall ladder, which was bright with its
swathing of greens and pop-corn strings and
glittering glass ornaments. It was exciting to
hear the jingle of sleigh bells that came from the
dressing room as Saint Patrick Dugan crossed
his legs a different way, and once, when Dugan

** * Children, ' he said, ‘it’s all right; just remain seated ' "'

sneezed, there was such a jingling that Sadie
Moriarty stopped right in the middle of the
solo she was singing and had to begin at the
beginning again.

"Now, children," said Miss Jones, when the
last carol had been sung, “уге are going to have
the good Santa Claus—"

“Santa nawthin'," said a rich voice from the
dressing room,—‘‘’T is Saint Paterick."

Miss Jones looked anxiously in the direction
of the voice.

“Children,” she began again, “we who have
charge of the mission have tried to give you
this Christmas something a little different from
the usual programme. You all know about the
Christmas tree and what it signifies, but this
year we have a Christmas ladder. Last year
we had a bell, which signified, ‘Ring out the
glad tidings.’ Our ladder and the motto above
it mean that we should try to climb toward—”
but that part of the little speech was dead words

. to the eager children. It passed over their

heads until she came to the real business part
of it.

“Апа we have another surprise for you,"
she said. “We will have no Santa Claus this
year." She waited a moment to let the awful
significance of this sink in, and then brought
joy to the blank faces again.

"Instead," she said, gaily, “good Saint
Patrick has come to take the presents from the
ladder. As I call each little boy’s and girl’s
name the little boy or girl whose name is called
will come up and receive the present from the
hands of Saint Patrick."

She turned, and Mr. Henley began briskly
lighting the candles on the ladder, while the
school sang “Onward, Christian Soldiers.”
The ladder sparkled with lights while they sang,
“Hark, the Herald Angels Sing!" and then Mr.
Henley briskly extinguished the candles, and
the good gray and plump Saint Patrick stalked
forth to carry out his part of the programme.

“Gee!” cried an excited voice, “look at de
green Santa Claus!” while Sadie Moriarty con-
fided to her seatmate, “It ain't no real Saint
Patrick; it’s only Mister Dugan rigged up.”

Dugan rattled his bells and bowed low to the
audience. On one arm he carried a basket, into
which to put the gathered fruits of the ladder as
he plucked them. There was a lively silence,
slit by whispers and rustlings of garments, and
Dugan turned and put his foot on the ladder.

At that moment three men arose in the rear
of the hall, and one called authoritatively :—

“ Dugan ! ”

Dugan stopped and looked around.

“Tst!” said the man, beckoning with his
hand. .
Dugan hesitated, started to climb the ladder.
and thought better of it.

* Phwat is ut?” he asked in a loud whisper.
“Ап”, phwativer ut is, address me as Saint
Paterick.”

The men beckoned earnestly, but Dugan
stood still. The whole mission was craning
its necks to see who was holding communi-
cation with Saint Patrick, and Miss Jones
and Miss Willis were standing amazed. Mr.
Henley tripped briskly down the aisle to the
three men and spoke with them quickly.
Then he led them up the aisle to Dugan.

"Children," he said, “it is all right; just
remain seated,"

Two of the men were very large men, and
one was small. Their countenances showed
embarrassment, but firmness.

“I know what them is," said Sadie Mori-
arty; “them is the three wise men of the
East. They had 'em once at the "Piscopal
Sunday School, up town."

Dugan came a few steps to meet them.

" Me name is Hogan," said one of the big
men, “ап” Oi mek you acquainted with
Misther Larry Flannery an' Misther Moses
Levinsky. You can't go up that ladder,
Misther Dugan."

“Dang!” said Dugan, “ап” phwy not? Isita
non-union ladder?”

“Oi dunno," said Mr. Hogan; “ut may be.
Ut is Delancy's ladder, an' he is a union-shop
carpenter, so belike th’ ladder is good enough,
but ’t is not fer you t' be climbin’ ut."

"Children," said Miss Jones, nervously,
“we will sing ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers!’
again, while Mr.—while Saint Patrick is talking
with his friends.”

The gray-bearded saint laid his basket on the
floor and peeled off his gloves,

"Who ye be, Misther Hogan," he said,
roughly, “Оі don’t know, an’ Oi don’t, care, ,
but no wan says Tim Dugan can not go up anny
ladder that's union made. Go awn out, an'
whin Oi git troo wid me exercises Oi 'll come
outside and bat th' whole face off af ye. No
man says ‘ Dugan, do this!' or ‘ Dugan, do n't do
ut!’ t' Dugan.”

“Second verse," said Miss Jones; “now, all
together!"

“Oi ’ll tell ye who we be," said Mr. Hogan,
angrily, *an' mebby 't will shut th' abusive
mouth of ye. We be a delegation of th’ Hod

“Third verse!" said Miss Jones, hopefully.

“Т” ye seeanny hod оп me, Misther Hogan?"
asked Dugan.

** "Tis all th’ same, hod or basket," said Mr.
Hogan, “by th’ rules of th’ Hod Carriers’ Union.
Read th’ rules t’ Misther Dugan, Misther

Mr. Levinsky took the yellow-back pamphlet
from his pocket.

*' Rule Te-venty-von,’” he read,—‘‘‘A hod-
carrier shall pe any von who goes up ant town
any latter or stairvay or odder t’ings, carrying
bricks or mordar or odder t’ings in any hod or

“Well,” said Mr. Hogan, “is ut a ladder,
Misther Dugan, and is ut a basket? Phwat?
And is ut other things ye mane t' attimpt t' carry
down th’ ladder in th’ basket?”

“Т "is no Saint Paterick job, then, that Santa

“Tis so!" said Mr. Flannery and Mr.
Hogan.

“But, if ’tis so," said Dugan, “phwat will

coldly.

“Thin divil a bit will Oi Saint Paterick ut

said Dugan. “Т is a good union man Oi am,
Misther Hogan, an' intindid no harm. Ex-

Oi beg yer pardon."

“Let be!” said Mr. Hogan. generously.

* Repeat first verse!" said Miss Jones, rather
doubtfully.

“ But Oi feel sorry fer th’ kids," said Dugan,
“ал” thim so set on gettin’ their prisints from
th’ hands of Saint Paterick."

"UD is all right!" Mr. Hogan assured him;

*t will be betther fer thim t' git their prisints

"Shure!" agreed Dugan, “соте intil th’
dressin’ room an’ put awn th’ duds."

They reassured Mr. Henley, and Mr. Henley
reassured Miss Jones, and Miss Jones reassured
the audience and had it sing the second verse
again.

In the dressing room Mr. Dugan shed the coat
and Mr, Hogan tried to put it оп. He could not
so much as get his arms into it. Mr. Flannery,
being larger than Mr. Hogan, did not attempt
to wear it. They turned to Mr. Levinsky.

“ Misther Levinsky," said Dugan, “рей on
th’ duds, ’T is your job, an’ good luck t' ye.
But if iver anny wan had tould me Oi w'u'd
live t' see th' day whin a Levinsky w'u'd be

I'd have soaked him a good wan in th' eye.
Mebby th’ leddys w'u'd be afther tellin’ th’
kids Saint Paterick had a call t' meet Santa
Claus at th’ club, an’ passed on th’ job t’ Moses."

Levinsky did not fit the suit well. By turning
the trousers up a foot at the bottom he was able
to wear them, but the grace of his movements
was destroyed by the rotund cotton-batting
stomach of Santa Claus, which hung before his
knees. He turned up the cuffs of the coat
sleeves to let his hands have breath, but when
he walked the artificial stomach knocked for-
ward spasmodically with each step as his knees
struck it. The mask and wig extinguished his
head. Even Sadie Moriarty giggled when he
walked into view, and as he climbed the ladder,
carefully lifting the stomach out of his way
before each step upward, Miss Jones had to
put her eyes deep into a hymn book to hide her
feelings.

Dugan, relieved of his duties, took his seat
in the front row, with Hogan and Flannery on
either side of him.

«Т is a good rule,” he said to Hogan, “that

“Ап” phwat is that, now?" said Dugan, sur-
prised.

“Т is a prisint fer ye," said Hogan; “ро awn

“А prisint fer me?” Dugan asked, “look at

He walked the few feet to where Levinsky
stood holding out a square parcel, and took it.

“Thank ye, Saint Paterick Moses," he said,
and returned to his seat by Hogan.

“Ореп ut," said Hogan.

Dugan, grinning, opened the package. He
half expected some hoax. It was a full box of
fifty cigars.

“Dang!” said he, and tears of pleasure filled
his eyes. *'Ain't they th’ daycent leddys?”

Hogan leaned over and took the box. He
turned it over and handed it back.

“Pass thim back, Dugan,” he commanded;
“they hev no blue label. They be scab cigars,

who, in the face of many obstacles,
caught Agoncillo, the agent of
Aguinaldo, for the New York
“бап,” when he came to America

that possibly, after all, his efforts to score a “beat” had been in vain,

for the war department might delay his message, if not suppress it
entirely. Impulsively, he sprang upon the back of a horse, rode

thirty miles to the nearest railroad station, caught the first train bound
north, wrote out his story again aboard the train, while traveling all the
way to New York, and arrived in his office just as his delayed dispatch
was beginning to come in, ‘‘doctored” by the censors of the war depart-
ment. Mr. Smalley at once became опе of the powers of the “Tribune,”
and, after the war, was sent to London to establish the first bureau of

an American paper abroad.

One of the greatest journalistic feats of the Civil War was accom-

plished by the New York “ Herald," in compiling a
complete roster of the Confederate army. James
Gordon Bennett, the first, was a great believer in giving
“both sides,”—which is still one of the first rules of
the *Herald." It was decided to establish a Con-
federate department in the “Herald” office, which
would handle only such matters as related to the Con-
federate army. One feature of this work, as conceived
by Frederick Hudson, then managing editor of the
“ Herald,” was to gather all the Confederate local
newspapers possible and such other records as might
furnish the rosters of the various divisions of the Con-
federate army. When the “Herald” finally came out
with a full roster of the followers of Lee, it raised
great commotion. Тһе northern newspapers cried
“Collusion!” while the southern papers screamed
"Spies!" Тһе trick was easy enough, as is shown by
a musty old pile of southern local newspapers now in
the “Herald” office, giving the lists of soldiers from
their respective neighborhoods.

The first newspaper man who ever went to a war
and created the title of “war correspondent” in its
full sense was William Howard Russell, who went to
the Crimean War, in the early fifties, for the London
*"Times." He was not allowed to go with the British
army, so he determined to follow the war on an inde-
pendent plan. А ham cost him twenty-five dollars,
a turkey the same, a glass of jelly one dollar, and
he had to pay the equivalent of thirty dollars for a
pair of boots while on the trail of war. Attimes he
almost starved. No foreign correspondents were
allowed with the French army, in the Franco-Prussian
War, in 1870, but Germany welcomed them from all
countries, In those days, war correspondents could
view a battle at close range; but, now that artillery
and musketry have so much wider sweep, a corres-
pondent is lucky if he is permitted to see the fighting
at a distance of four miles, and, unless he is willing
to risk his life, even at such chances, he would better
stay at home with his mother.

Perhaps the most complete and the most signifi-
cant **scoop" ever scored by a single newspaper over
all the papers of the civilized world was accomplished
by David Graham Phillips, now famed as a novelist
and magazine writer, who got his start as a reporter
for the ‘‘Sun” and the “World.” It was on June
23, 1893, while Phillips was London correspondent
of the "World," that he learned, from a diplomat
who had visited the British marine office, that the
“Victoria,” the flagship of the British Mediterranean

squadron, had been sunk off Tripoli with all on board. Тһе rumor was
vague and was not credited at the marine office; but Phillips, with the
instinct of the Yankee reporter, determined to take no chances. Тһе
London papers made some efforts to verify the report, as did all the
other correspondents of foreign newspapers stationed in London, but
they wasted their efforts in querying Tripoli, Africa, instead of Tripoli,

an insignificant little seaport in Asia Minor. Phillips looked up the

Robert J, Wynne,
who, when a newspaper man, un-
earthed the famous postal scandals

map, saw that there were two Tripolis, and determined to try them

both. He knew of по опе in Tripoli, Asia Minor, who
might send him a report of the disaster; but, knowing
how night editors in America frequently wire unknown
telegraph operators in out-of-the-way places, in
emergencies, to send them reports of things that have
happened thereabouts, he decided to try this scheme
upon the unknown telegraph agent at Tripoli.

To his utter dismay, he was informed by the gen-
eral manager of the London office that the operator
at Tripoli was a Turk and would never be able to
send the report or even to decipher the message.
"We'll take the gambler’s chance," said Phillips;
"although it's about a thousand to one, we 'll take
the chance.” Off went the following message:—

Telegraph Agent, Tripoli, Syria. Will pay you $500 for

a full account of the "Victoria" disaster. Hope you
will send about 2,000 words. Please send as soon as

possible.

Then came a long, tedious, nerve-racking delay.
As the hours wore on, Phillips eagerly gathered in the
London papers to see if they had obtained the news.
Not a sign of it appeared in any of them. All night
he sat up, waiting for a reply to his message, making
frequent trips to the main office of the telegraph com-
pany. “It is hopeless,” said the general manager; “I
never dreamed you would hear anything in response."
Suddenly the wires delivered this message :—

“ Prepay telegraph tolls, or telegraph the money to
pay. Will send account." This was signed “‘ Pierre."

"Let us send him the money at once," shouted
Phillips, grasping his hat. “It is useless," replied
the general manager, shrugging his shoulders,—* per-
fectly useless. "The money can go only to the end of
ourline. Тһе Turkish government will not allow it
to go any farther." Phillips decided to leave all to
the mercy of “ Pierre," and sent a message saying that
it was impossible to telegraph money, and asking his
unknown friend to borrow the money, relying upon
his honesty.

Then came another long and weary siege of wait-
ing, of scanning the London papers, and of querying
the marine office. Not a word had been received
anywhere; not a line in the papers told of the disaster.
On the morning of the third day, while Phillips was
trving to gulp down a cup of the abominable stuff
they call coffee in London, a messenger boy ran into
the restaurant with six sheets of the coveted story.
"There's more comin’, sir," the lad said, and hurried
back to the telegraph office, while Phillips sought the
cable to New York. It was, indeed, a thrilling story,

спа “ Ріегге, the man of mystery, showed a wonderful familiarity with
the English language, although many of the words were badly shat-
tered by the Turkish operators. Тһе story told how Admiral Tryon
had given orders for the battle ship “Camperdown” to execute a ma-
neuver, how the commander had signaled that the space between his
ship and the “Victoria” was insufficient, how the admiral simply re-
peated his orders and the two ships collided, the “Victoria” going to
the bottom, stern up, her propellers grinding to death five hundred
of those aboard. The full story of the disaster
reached New York at 7.30 Р. м., Monday, June 26,
and was immediately printed in an extra edition of
the ‘‘ Evening World.” Next day, the morning “ World”
carried a more complete story, while all the papers in
this country and in London stood by wondering
whether it wasreliable news or not. Not until the fol-
lowing day, or the sixth day after the disaster, did
the London papers print the story, and they took it
then from the ‘‘World’s” account. ''Pierre" turned
out to be Dr. Ira Harris, the only American in all the
countryside about Tripoli, Syria, and one of the five
men there who could speak English. He happened,
by the merest accident, to be in the telegraph office
when the message arrived, and the Turk, instead of
throwing it away, turned it over to Dr. Harris. He
borrowed money to pay the telegraph tolls on the
"special" It was necessary for him to spell each
word, letter by letter, to the Turk who sent the dis-
patch, as the latter knew nothing of English and very
little of French.

Lindsay Denison, of the “Sun,” played the same
game of chance at great odds as Phillips did, when
he caught Agoncillo, the agent of Aguinaldo, when
he came to this country, just prior to the outbreak ia
the Philippines. Agoncillo came here pretending to
be the agent of Aguinaldo, delegated to treat with
the president of the United State for concessions to
the Filipinos; but, when the hostilities actually began
in the Philippines, and it became the belief of the
authorities at Washington that Agoncillo was nothing
more than a spy sent here to get information to
enable Aguinaldo to conduct his rebellion more satis-
factorily, he decided to make a hasty escape to
Canada. А "tip" came to the “Sun” office from
Washington that Agoncillo had bought a ticket, at
least as far as Baltimore. Тһе city editor did not
even know that the agent of Aguinaldo was coming
to New York, but he was determined to get an expla-
nation from him if he could be found here. Every
hotel in the city was searched by “Sun” reporters.
Finally, Denison hit upon the plan of keeping vigil at
the railroad stations from which trains depart for
Canada. Не had no reason for doing this other than
that it is better to be safe than sorry. Не had no in-
formation that АропсШо contemplated going to
Canada, for it was not known even at Washington
where he had gone when he left there. As a matter cf
fact, Agoncillo had been at the Manhattan Hotel in
New York while the “Sun” reporters were looking

Isaac D. White
won fame by identifying the man
who tried to kill Russell Sage

for him; but, not having reg-
istered, he threw the scribes
offhistrack. It just happened
that Denison struck out upon
the proper assumption. Call-
ing up his city editor, he
asked that another reporter be
sent to the West Shore Station,
Weehawken, saying that he
would keep a lookout for his
man at the Grand Central
Station, these being the only
two stations from which a pas-
senger bound for Canada
would be apt to leave. After
several hours of waiting,
Denison noticed a diminutive,
dark-skinned fellow nervously
pacing along toward the gates
that lead to the trains for
Montreal. He thought he
recognized Agoncillo from the
pictures which had appeared
in the newspapers, but he wasn't quite sure, He had never seen a
Filipino, but he thought this little chap came about as near.to the de-
scription of one as any human being could, so he stealthily went aboard
the train and quietly sat down in the same car, having hurriedly pur-
chased a ticket to Poughkeepsie, New York, and given a policeman a
dollar to telephone his office that he thought he had his man.

The night editor of the ‘‘Sun” realized that Denison would probably
land a great “beat,” puro coveted at that time, because secret
service men were on the track of Agoncillo to arrest him as a spy; so
he began to send telegrams to Denison aboard the train at various
stations, saying, “Call him Jones in your dispatches, to prevent leakage
of the news over the wires," and other such words of precaution. After
the train was well out of New York City, and going at a swift clip,
Denison nearlv terrified the little Filipino to death by going over and
sitting down beside him. Не frightened him suffi-
ciently to get an interview from him and information
as to where he was going, which was the all-important
thing at that time for the United States government,
and the “Sun,” next morning, was particularly in-
teresting to the authorities at Washington. Denison
had done what the combined force of secret service
men had failed to do; but, having no power to arrest,
he could only let Agoncillo go his way.

Enough has been said already to show that it
requires eternal vigilance for a reporter to bag his
game, leaving not a single chance for escape. It
might be further said, however, that the element of
luck does creep in now and then, either to a news-
paper man's advantage or to his ruin. When Regi-
nald Foster was one of the craít, he became famous
as the luckiest of reporters. He was alert, energetic,
and capable of writing an excellent story when he
landed it, but seemed to have a mascot perennial and
eternal. Wherever he went, he stumbled upon а
“beat.” He happened to be reporting a St. Patrick's
Day parade, and went into the Windsor Hotel to tele-
phone his office, when the fateful fire started in that
hosteiry, resulting in the horrible deaths of several
hundred persons. Foster abandoned the parade,
helped rescue the imprisoned patrons of the burning
hotel, and that night wrote a graphic account of the
fire from start to finish. Не was the most available
reporter in New York when the great Hoboken fire
started, and, hiring a steamer in the name of his news-
paper, he saved many lives before the firemen could
render aid. When President McKinley was assassi-
nated, at Buffalo, the first news came to all the papers
in New York in the shape of a very brief bulletin. А
group of newspaper men simultaneously asked of each
other, ** Where is Foster?" Somebody explained that
he was then on his vacation at Narragansett Pier; but,
even while he was speaking, a telegram to the city
editor was received and torn open. It read thus:
“I was right beside the President when he was shot,
having come to the Buffalo Exposition to close my
vacation. Will send full descriptive story to-night.”
It was Foster.

The outside world little dreams of the money that
is spent in gathering news. The average person would
not believe that a reporter is sometimes backed by
$25,000 or even $50,000 to get a single “beat” оп
other newspapers. One case of this kind, which re-
sulted in the most exciting race for news, perhaps, in

HOW ROOSEVELT IS REGARDED ABROAD

By VANCE THOMPSON

Owing to the World-Wide Interest in President Roosevelt, SUCCESS
MAGAZINE Commissioned the Greatest American Interviewer to Learn
from European Statesmen Just How He Appears in Foreign Eyes

L—The “Big Stick" and the Peace-Lord

HE ministry of foreign affairs is in the Quai d’Orsay. I went there,

the other day, to see M. Rouvier; and, while I waited, I said

casually to one of the secretariés,—a mere polite word to pass the
time,—'' What's new in your Venezuela trouble?"

“Аһ, we do n't know what to do," he exclaimed, with an outthrow
of his hands; “І wish your President Roosevelt would give Venezuela
а cut or two with the beeg steeck.”

Perhaps his reference to Mr. Roosevelt was merely a polite phrase,
like my question; but I am inclined to believe there wasa sighing earnest-
ness in it. Anyway, it shows how readily the French mind turns to the
great American; and that, to one who knows how self-centered France
is,—how little heed it has for the men who are illustrious otherwhere,—
is significant. Of our modern presidents only two— Lincoln and Grant,
—ever attracted French attention,—and the circumstance of war made
them known. For Mr. Roosevelt the ink has flowed in torrents. Not
only do the newspapers relate his exploits,—whether he kills a bear or
goes down in a submarine boat,—but they are also avid of his
opinions, and interviews with him (unfortunately, not alwavs true,) are
displayed with great prominence on the first pages of the big dailies.

Almost Every French Home Contains Some Book Written by or about Roosevelt

Pictures of Mr. Roosevelt as а rough rider, as a cowboy, or
talking from the tail end of a Pullman, confront you everywhere in
the European press. Nor should I like to say how many books have
been written about him, ‘' Roosevelt Intime,” a work of three hundred
pages, in which the story of his forceful life is graphically told, has reached
all the reading homes of France; and his
own books—notably “La Vie Intense,"— nare A د‎
have followed. 1 know of no other book
that has had so wide an influence in latter
days. Young France, especially, is in-
terested in the sudden and formidable
upbuilding of her sister republic; and the
. cause of this growth she has sought,
wisely enough, in Mr. Roosevelt's books,
in those on the Far West, and especially
in the one whose title I have quoted in
French, “Тһе Strenuous Life." So it
comes to pass that two American writers
are pretty close to the French schoolboy's
heart,—Mr. Roosevelt and their old, fa-
miliar friend, ‘‘Mark Twain." In other
words, the President is known in France.
It did not require the epoch-making treaty
of peace, which the world owes him, to
make him one of the great figures of con-
temporary history.

His contemporaries were eminently
aware of him.

But that vast event, with its far-reach-
ing international consequences, brought
him into the very focus of public thought.
The mind of the French foreign office
turns inevitably to the hopeful parables
of the “beeg steeck.”

When anything goes wrong in French
public affairs, the publicists knock the
government about the ears with that
better president oversea. Here is a good
illustration, for example:—

“If a man such as President Roose-
velt came to live among us for three

months as a private citizen, having to undergo all those accidental
relations with the administration which daily life imposes on us, he would
quickly refuse to believe in the existence of a republic in France, and
would return to his country convinced that we are incapable of ever

possessing real liberty."
The President Stands in too Exalted a Position To Be Rewarded by Any Prize

In such words Monsieur Emile Danthesse expresses at once his
opinion of Mr. Roosevelt and his patriotic discontent. Jndeed, these
are pleasant days in France for an American; go where he will, he hears
a good word of his president, and, now and then, the complimentary
“И we had such a man!” And, when men get together іп Paris,—for
what purpose it does not seem to matter greatly,—the first thing they
do is to send a message of some sort to the White House. The other
day it was a congress of physicians, studying tuberculosis; they tele-
graphed the "expression of their respectful and cordially sympathetic
sentiments;” and then they set about their business A like preliminary
opened the Peace Congress at Luzerne.

By the way, I asked Monsieur Frédéric Passy about that,—him
whose lifelong labors in the cause of peace were honored with a Nobel
prize,—and he wrote me:—

“АП the friends of peace owe a profound gratitude to President
Roosevelt. He received many and heartfelt evidences of it in the tele-
grams sent to him from the Peace Congress on September 20 and 21.
Every possible method should be taken of showing him the sentiments
inspired by what he has done."

Then Monsieur Passy goes on to speak of the possibility of Mr.
Roosevelt's candidature, іп 1907,—since for 1906 it is too late,—for
the Nobel prize to be awarded by the
Norwegian parliament for eminentservices
to the cause of peace in the world; and he
presents a view which is, so far as I know,
quite a new one.

“It seems to me," he writes, “that,
Бесеу on account of the grandeur of

is situation and of his róle, President
Roosevelt should be one of those eminent
personalities who are usually considered
as being above such a competition; and
that the Nobel prize should be reserved
to those persons whose resources and
whose influence would be strengthened
by it, while, at the same time, it recom-
pensed their services."

Mr. Roosevelt may not be of the same `
mind; but I quote the letter for two rea-
sons; Monsieur Passy is the grand old
man of peace,—a veteran in the war for
arbitration,—and his appreciation of the
young peace-lord is worth recording; in
the second place, it is difficult to pay a
man a finer compliment than that of telling:
him he stands above those whom one may
properly reward.

There is in Paris a Street of Peace,
the famous Rue dela Paix. Popular en-
thusiasm demanded, the other day, that
its name should be changed to “Rue
Roosevelt." "Though that was not done,
another street is to bear the President's
name,—an honor already paid to Wash-
ington and Franklin.

Do you know what the protocol is?
In the Old World it is all the pomp and

circumstance, the dignity and discretion, that hedge about a man in power,
be he the king or the king's minister, the president or his premier. It isa
form of etiquette shining stiff and implacable asa bar of steel. For in-
stance, you wish to know President Loubet's opinion of Mr. Roosevelt.
Now no one else is so amiable as M. Loubet; noone is more approachable.
A year or so ago he wrote, at my request, an article for an American mag-
azine,—and that is a sort of thing European rulers do not do readily.
Should you speak with him, quite informally, he would tell you many a
pleasant word he had in mind of Mr. Roosevelt; but the protocol—that in-
flexiblelaw,—forbids one ruler to speak publicly of another. It is farcical,
in a way; and yet, perhaps, it makes for peace. Personally, I know that M.
Loubet has taken a keen interest in President Roosevelt's public career
since 1900, and, doubtless, before. What Monsieur Loubet said in his
telegram of congratulation, when President Roosevelt brought to an
end the Russo-Japanese War, was merely the public expression of an
admiration he had often made known to his intimate friends. Monsieur
Rouvier, the minister of foreign affairs, is even more fastly tied to the
protocol than his chief. А smiling man of the world, without enthu-
siasm—as he once said,—for greatness, even his own, his policy has been
one of steady friendship for the United States.

IL—Statesmen and Ministers of State Do Talk!

I owe to Monsieur Paul Doumer, the president of the French parlia-
ment, a lesson in the gentle art of dodging the protocol. At present M.
Doumer is the most formidable candidate for the presidency of the
republic, for which the election will be held next year. More than any
other it behooves him to walk circumspectly; but, on the other hand,
he is one of Mr. Roosevelt's most pronounced admirers. When he
meets an American, his first care is to add to his knowledge of the man
who throws so big a shadow over international affairs. So, gliding round
the protocol, he sent me his “lively regrets that his functions did not
permit him to write what he thought of Mr. Roosevelt and to state
publicly his real admiration for him."

T, too, regret it; for M. Doumer has meditated on the man he would
fain praise.

In Belgium the protocol weighs not so heavily upon the world of
state. Leopold the Second is a homely king; and, in spite of his chamber-
lain, is always glad to send a word of greeting to his “great and good
friend oversea." In that pleasant Belgian land they all seem to be in a
conspiracy to rival the king in amiability. I transmit a few official
messages: the first is from his excellency, the minister of state. Monsieur
Beernaert writes: “I said, recently,—to the applause of the inter-
parliamentary congress,—that President Roosevelt is а man of grand
character and lofty integrity; and I believe that, in these words, I charac-
terized exactly his high and sympathetic personality."

From the president of the senate, Count de Mérode-Westerloo,
came these words: “How could a Belgian, а citizen of a neutral and
industrial country, be other than glad to render homage to those who
work for the peace of the world? There is по one here who did not
rejoice at the ending of the Russo-Japanese War. All of us have ad-
mired the action, so weighty in the matter, of President Roosevelt."

Belgian opinion is eloquently summed up by Senator Wiener, the
cabinet minister, who says:—“ A few weeks ago the interparliamenta-
rian conference for peace and arbitration met in Brussels. Its first act
was to salute the great citizen who, at that very moment, was just ac-
complishing a pacific work more real, more efficacious, and greater than
all those which had been attempted up to that time by the pacifiers of
the two worlds. The name of Roosevelt, who had just united on Amer-
ican soil the delegates of the two warring empires, was greeted with
enthusiasm by all the representatives of all the nations. Whatever was
to be the issue of the noble enterprise of the president, we applauded
his courageous initiative. А few days later the conference held its

closing session at Liége,—there we learned the end of the horrible war. `

Roosevelt Is Creating a National Influence Which Will Affect АП Europe

“When the president of the conference rose to thank Mr. Roosevelt,
in the name of universal humanity, an immense acclamation drowned
his words, and it seemed to us all that, behind these enthusiastic cheers,
we heard the cries of joy and gratitude of all the mothers, of all the
wives, and of all the children whose anguish your great citizen had
stilled and whose tears he had dried.

“What is the glory, conquered in no matter what field of war or
science, which can be compared to the eternal renown that the Peace
of Portsmouth will give, in the memory of men,to President Roosevelt?
What other man among all your great presidents ever gained in so
short a time such worldwide popularity and recognition?

“I said, recently, to one of your compatriots:—' Roosevelt is the
great President of Peace.’ ‘Yes,’ he said, smiling, ‘but he is also the
President of battleships.'

“That is true. He is not only a. pacifier,—rather he is the pacific
statesman of a great country, who knows that real and durable peace
is gained only by continual sacrifices, and that, since the world has
been the world, the old saying has been true: ‘Si vis pacem para bellum.’

“In our free and laborious Belgium we follow with interest and
admiration the prodigious expansion of your country. Led by a guide
like Roosevelt, it will ро оп in the noble paths of justice and civilization.”

it is extraordinary how the Rooseveltian idea of life has become ап in-

timate part of French thought. The upcoming generation has a sterner
and more strenuous attitude toward Ше than its predecessor has had.
Especially is this truein the great middle classes, —the world of business and
affairs. No little of this is due to the example—for his biography is a com-
mon property of youth,—of the man who came to the headship of the great
transatlantic nation after taking so wide and stirring a career in civic life.
Perhaps it is due to national pride; perhaps young France is tired of
hearing Aristides called “The Just;” at all events there is а character-
istic tendency toward a theory that Mr. Roosevelt did not quite invent
the strenuous way of looking at things. А distinguished publicist,
Monsieur Albert Savine, puts it for you in this way: “Тһе ideas of
Roosevelt are those of Montaigne, and the principles he lays down are
those which were applied to Montaigne's education."

So the situation is saved and under the еріз of Montaigne the
youth of France goes on being Rooseveltian.

Gaston Deschamps speaks for the academic world,and it is a
pleasure to transcribe his appreciation of our chief of state. Не writes:
* Old Europe, mother of civilized nations, admires the actual President
of the United States with the tenderness of a grandsire. Old Europe,
which, by a series of emigrations, has poured out upon the New World
the best of her blood and of her genius, is pleased to salute, in the person
of "Theodore Roosevelt, an accomplished example of certain diverse
qualities that are less common here than once they were,—less common,
at least, іп one man. I mean a man of politics who is not a politician,
a man of action who is, at the same time, a man of thought,—a parlia-
mentarian who does not waste his life in idle words, but writes beautiful
books to preserve the joyous activity of his own mind,—in short, a new
model, singularly rejuvenated and modernized, of what, in the seven-
teenth century, was expressively called “Р? honnéte homme." I have not
translated the phrase; it means more than “honest тап)” what it strives
to express is the upright man, the broadly reasonable man, who rounds
up his life into a clean and equable whole; and it is in this age-old sense
of the words that Deschamps applies them to the man he praises.

"There is another side to the French judgment of Mr. Roosevelt;
more than one statesman will tell you that their interest is in the empire-
builder more than in the man. That swift, disconcerting move іп
Panama gave food for thought. Nor is it quite clear to them what
future he is making. Victor Bérard, who is in France the highest author-
ity on world-politics, has this prophecy for you:—

“Mr, Roosevelt made plain his national policy long before he
delivered his presidential message; he did it by publishing a life of
Cromwell. For him Cromwell was not,as for the land of Louis XVI.,
the first regicide; he was the founder of the British thalassocracy,—
the author or signer of the ‘navigation act’ which gave to the English
people the empire and the commerce of the seas. America, to-day,
awaits her Cromwell, because the United States of the twentieth century
is going to do again what England did in the seventeenth. One need not
be a prophet to foresee that in Theodore Roosevelt that man has come."
Ав you see, Monsieur Bérard makes a long cast at the future.

Il.—Academic Appreciations and Diplomatic Wooing

Count Goblet d’Alviella, senator and member of the French Academy,
said :—'*We are at a turning-point in the history of the world. Nearly all
the available part of the earth's crust is in the hands of people who in-
tend to hold what they have. The growing and unavailable self-
assertion of the yellow race is closing forever the prospects of white
expansion in the Far East. Each power hastens to seize the few remain-
ing openings. Under these circumstances, it is fortunate for the United
States to have a man who has fully understood the need of securing for
his fellow citizens the international situation due to the size and wealth
of their country, especially when his country has still such a future for
internal development, That Mr. Roosevelt's imperialism is not a danger
for general peace, we have as witness his efforts to favor the better
adjustment of international law and the extension of arbitration, at

“Tf, last year, at the Interparliamentary Conference of Saint-Louis,
after І had moved that the neutral powers should be requested to in-
terfere amicably between the two belligerents in the Far East, I added
that President Roosevelt seemed to me particularly fit for such an
intervention, it was because I felt absolutely convinced that no Euro-
pean power would dare to undertake the task. He did it and has now
won the name of having done practically for the cause of peace more
than any other living man. In all justice, it is to him that the next
Nobel Prize ought to go.

“President Roosevelt has done а good deal to bring the United
States nearer to an alliance with England. There are some alliances
that mean war and some that mean peace. I should consider ап Anglo-
American alliance, as much as I do an Anglo-French one, a great
guarantee for the peace of the world, and it is not the understanding
between Japan and England which will make me think the contrary.
It is not only the international equilibrium that may before long need
the support of a strong hand, but also the no less momentous question
connected with the preservation of universal liberties, self-government
and democracy. Liberal Europe may, some day, be glad to look toward
a powerful America, which President Roosevelt will certainly have
helped to build.”

WANTED,—A

DESPERADO

By FREDERICK UPHAM ADAMS

Author of ** The Kidnapped Millionaire'*

WILL, CRAWFORD

J Ам fond of studying my clients, and both

of the members of the firm of Black and
Roberts interested me. They own ranches and
mines, are directors in banks and railroads, and
wield financial and political influence in several
western states. Roberts is a member of a state
legislature, and Black has been in the national
house of representatives and is slated for the
senate.

The latter is a man whose language, tastes
and poise proclaim birth and culture. You soon
come to know that the mental predominates
with Black. Roberts is of another type. Ihave
never seen two men more nearly opposite phys-
ically and mentally, Black is short and stocky;
Roberts is tull, lean, and wiry. Black is talka-
tive almost to the point of garrulity; Roberts is
solemn and taciturn. Black is aggressive in his
declarations and conservative in his actions;
Roberts is deliberate in planning, but a whirl-
wind in execution.

The more I studied these men the more I
marveled that they were partners. "The natural
affinity of opposites is a well-known law, but
here were combinations which seemingly re-
quired only the slightest friction to generate an
explosion; yet they have worked in harmony for
years, and I soon came to know that no event or
combination of events could array one against
the other.

Тһе three of us were on an expedition so im-
portant in its nature that absolute secrecy was
imperative. Wetherefore dispensed with guides,
but Black and Roberts knew the trails. We
camped, one night, well up the slope of a ram-
bling foothill which opposed the last barrier to
the range which was our goal. We smoked, іп
silence, after our evening meal was ended. I
gazed at the elongated Roberts and then at the
trim and well-poised Black, and for the hun-
dredth time wondered at theloyalty which bound
them. Iam schooled to mind my own business,
and I can not imagine what impelled me to
violate this sensible practice.

“How did it happen," I asked, looking at
Black,''that you and Roberts became partners? ”

Black took the pipe from his mouth and
looked at me. He is quick of speech, but his
lips closed so suddenly that I knew I was on
dangerous ground.

"[ beg your pardon, gentlemen, and with-
draw that question," I quickly said; “it is none
of my business."

Black was on the point of saying something
when Roberts broke the silence.

“ВШ апа I hitched up in double harness for

"По you

he suddenly asked ''

what you lawyers call good and sufficient rea-
sons,” he'said, "and suppose we let it go at
that."

Black laughed, good-naturedly.

“We never have told that story," he said,
turning from me to Roberts, ‘‘but there is no
reason why we should n't confideit to our lawyer.
Lawyers are paid to keep secrets."

“You can tell him," Roberts growled, after
a pause.
“We ° both tell him," declared Black. ‘It’s
not much of a story to listen to, but it was rather
exciting to live through, was n't it, Jack?”

“It surely was. Tell it, if you 're going to,
Bill."

"I was the boy wonder of the New England
town in which I was born," began Black. “І
dashed through school, and was admitted to the
practice of law when I was twenty years old.

_ A year later I was elected to office. Then I

applied all of my energy to drinking. I cele-
brated all victories and deadened all defeats in
rum. I drank up my voice, my health, my
reputation, my friends, and my mother.

“I had a sweetheart, and she stuck by me
until it was a disgrace to have her name linked
with mine. During an interval of sanity I
realized the depth of my disgrace. She had
faith in me. She loved me and would wait for
me while I started life over again. I went West
and began the practice of law in Denver. Suc-
cess came,—and I drank to it. I wrote and told
her of my fall, and the letter begging me to try
again was stained with her tears.

where, for months, I could not possibly obtain

ful physical and mental change іп me. Му.

brain became clear, my hand steady, and it wasa _

e —

joy to live,—to live in hope for her. Six months

passed and I wrote her a letter telling the good |

news and asking her to write to me at Laramie,
stating that I would be in that town in a month.
I did not tell her a secret which filled me with
joy. І had discovered outcroppings of gold ore
which promised a fortune beyond the dreams of a
struggling lawyer. I had entirely recovered my
egotism with my health. I honestly thought she
would not care whether I had a million or a
splinter, so I dismissed the subject by saying
that I had saved up two hundred dollars and
had finally knocked out old King Alcohol. I
told her a lot of other things which I need not
repeat, and I felt happy all over, thinking how
pleased she would be.

“The days crawled by until, at length, I was

ready for my trip to Laramie. Fora month my
thoughts were centered in a vain but fond at-
tempt to guess what she would write to те. I
shall never forget the moment when, from the
crest of a hill, I caught my first glimpse of
Laramie, that bright forenoon. "There lay the
field on which I would taste the sweets of a
double victory. I would receive and read her
dear letter, and I would demonstrate to myself
and to the world that I had conquered my crav-
ing for liquor.

“Му hard-earned money was іп my pocket,
the secret of the mine was safe in my breast, the
blood of health flowed in my veins, the skies
smiled down on me, and all nature applauded
what I had done.

“Му horse spurned the miles which lay be-
tween us and Laramie. І sang and yelled from
pure excess of joy. І did not realize it, but I
was already intoxicated, although the stimula-
tion was a harmless опе. On the edge of the
town I saw an old beggar,—a worthless scoun-
drel, no doubt,—but I tossed him a silver dollar.
I was not willing that any one should be un-
happy on that, my day of triumph.

“I galloped recklessly through the streets, and
dismounted in front of the post office. I strode
in and demanded a letter for William H. Black.
I fixed my eyes on that clerk as he pulled out
the letters in the “В” box, and watched him
narrowly as he swiftly sorted them over. As he
got near the bottom of the pile I felt something
come up in my throat, but I choked it back. Не
looked at the last letter, pushed them together,
and slid them into the pigeonhole,

“ ‘Nothing for you, to-day, Mr. Black,’ һе
said. Ithink I was crazy from that moment.

** * You're а liar!’ I shouted, with an oath.
‘Look again!’ $

“ *T told you there was no letter for you,’ he
said, and һе was good and mad. І shoved а
pistol through the opening.

“ “Give me those letters!’ I said, holding the
gun full on him; “ ‘I’m taking no chances of
mistakes!’

* "There's no letter for you,’ he said, as
cool as could be; *but, since you insist, you can
look for yourself.’

“Не handed me the bunch of letters, and I
was so excited that I dropped the gun and
grabbed them. Не could have picked it up and
shot me, if he had cared to, but I suppose he
figured that I was drunk and irresponsible.
Gentlemen, there was no letter for me!”

Black paused in his recital. It was deathly

still as his voice ceased. The air was so motion-

less that the thin pillar of smoke from our camp-

fire traced a straight blue line upward until it

blended into the black of the star-studded sky.

I did not dare interject а word, and a minute
before he continued.

“I have often wondered if I would Бау gone
out and got drunk if there had been a letter there
from her," he finally said, more to himself than
to us. "I'm pretty sure I would n't; but, of
course, there is no way to prove it, As it was,
I did not hesitate a second. І figured that she
was through with me, and very likely married
to some one worthy of her. I could not blame
her, but life had no more attraction for me. I
thought of the gold mine and cursed it,

“Tt took me four days to drink up that two
hundred dollars, and three days more to sleep
off the effects in the town calaboose. When I
searched my pockets I found that I had two or
three dollars left. I thought the matter over as
calmly as I could, and decided to commit suicide.

“1 considered that suicide question as coolly
as you would any simple detail of law or busi-
ness, I had tried life and found it a
failure. My father was dead, I had
killed my mother by years of miscon-
duct, I had brought disgrace on my
relatives and friends, and deservedly
had lost the love of the only woman
on earth who had stuck by me until
hope had died within her. There was
not a single valid reason why I should
remain alive.

“But I did not like to kill myself.
I have always argued that it is a cow-
ardly thing todo. I longed to die, but
not by my own hand. І thought of
hunting up a case of smallpox, and
wondered if it were possible to contract
pneumonia, but both of these expedi-
ents looked like beating the devil about
the bush. It occurred to me that, per-
haps, another drink might give me a
better idea, and I proceeded to take
one. My prodigality had formed a
temporary coterie of acquaintances, and
I mingled with them. I was sparing
of my money, as I had sense enough
left to know that I was likely to have
use for it if I wished to die decently.

“From one of these boys—and they
were not a bad lot of fellows,—I
learned that a noted desperado and
mankiller had struck town.”

Roberts shifted uneasily and took
his pipe from his mouth.

“І would n’t put it that way, Bill,”
he interrupted, his face gaunt and
ashen in the waning light of the camp-
fire.

“T’m only saying what I heard,
Jack,” said Black, placing his hand on
the other’s shoulder.

“I never shot a man who didn’t start the
trouble himself, and mighty few of them," in-
sisted Roberts. “І don't want our friend here
to get the idea that I was a bad man, and if I
had any such reputation it was n't comin’ to те.”

“Lord bless you, Jack, keep quiet, or you 'll
ruin my story!" laughed Black. “Ав I was
saying, the boys told me that Jack Roberts was
in town, that he was a dead shot, and that any
man who went up against him had better shoot
first or forever hold his peace. As you can
guess from the way Jack has interpolated with
uncalled-for remarks of a defensive nature, he
was the one indicated, and I was mightily
pleased with his traits as they were described to
me. Here was a chance to commit suicide like
a gentleman."

"See here, Bill," declared Roberts, аса
forward, “ Ido n't pretend to be much of a story-
teller, and I never told this to anybody, but it 's
only fair that I should tell just what happened,
hecause, on the square, about all you know
about it is what I have told you.”

“That’s right, Jack, and you сап go ahead
and tell it just as it happened," assented Black.
“I’m glad to get out of telling it, and every time
I think of it I am ashamed."

“All right, and I’ll make it short and to the
point, as they say," began Roberts, running his
fingers through his mustache. “І never was
much of a hand to drink, and never was what
you might call *under the influence' in my life,
but on this day I happened to be standing up to
the bar of the ‘Cheyenne Queen,’ talking with
some friends of mine, when in comes а man
named Brady, that I had met, and with him was
a young fellow that he introduced as Bill Black.
Brady said that his friend Black had heard of
me and wished the honor of meeting me. I was
young and a trifle vain, in those days, and this
sort of made me feel important, so I shook hands
with this Black, who had a good honest face
and seemed sober as a judge.

“T was n't paying attention to anything at all,
when this Bill Black tapped me on the shoulder.

“ ‘I understand,’ said he, his eyes looking
mighty funny, ‘that you are the only real bad

“Jack was watching me, but he never sald a word "'

man from up the gulch, and that the trail is
humped up with the mounds where you have
buried your dead.’

“Tf it had n't been for his eyes I should have
thought he was joking, but I began to suspect
that he had been drinking more than he showed,
so I answered him soft-like, and told him it was
evident some one had been slandering me. He
had a glass of beer in one hand, and the other
hand was over the bar, so I did n't anticipate
any harm.

“ *Do you know what I think?’ he suddenly
asked, and I told him surely I could n't guess.

" *[ think you are a cross between a prairie
dog and a milk snake!" he yelled, and with that
he threw the contents of his glass in my face."

Roberts paused, and the edges of his long
mustache lifted in a sheepish grin.

“Му going through that window, and landing
on the sidewalk, sash and all, was nothing but an
accident," he said, softly. “I know it looked
as if I was headed for the door or window, but
as a matter of fact my eyes were so full of

liquor that I did not know where I was going,
and it just happened that I struck that window.
Bill knows that. But, leaving this aside, the
fact remains that my one ambition, at that
moment, was to get out of range, and I was
amazed that the shooting did not begin. My
pony was outside, and without waiting to solve
any mysteries I just naturally jumped on his
back, stuck spurs into him, and headed for the
setting sun; and, if that do n't prove I was n't
а bad man, 174 like to know what it does prove.
Now you can go on, Bill."

The three of us joined in a hearty laugh.

“It all seems very funny now, but there was
no joke about it then," continued Black. “І
realized at once that I had overplayed my hand,
and that a man can't be expected to shoot
straight with his eyes full of liquor. It dawned
on me that I had done a mean trick to a stranger,
and I tell you I felt pretty bad about it. Ex-
pecting and hoping to be killed, I was dazed for
an instant when my intended executioner dove
through that window. I started after him with
the idea of making the proper sort of an explana-
tion, but before І could get to the door
he was on his pony and hoofing it
toward the hills. My pony was across
the street, and in my excitement I
stumbled and fell. As I did so, one
of Jack's friends took a shot at me and
clipped a corner off my right ear. Such
was the change in my views about the
desire for death that I esteemed m
mighty lucky that the bullet went an
inch or two wide.

“Jack was out of sight before I got
well under way. І kept on until it
was dark, but his aon was too fast.
My one ambition then became to find
Jack Roberts and explain to him that
it was all a mistake. During the days
that followed, while I hunted for some
trace of the man I had wronged, I
thought much of her, but there was
nothing bitter or resentful in my sorrow.
I had lost her, as I deserved, but I
would show my respect for her wasted
devotion. À

“A week later I was in Medicine
Bow. I had an idea that Jack was
headed that way, and I had n't been
in town ten minutes before I saw him
across the street. I held both of my
hands in the air, yelled, and walked
straight toward him. Like lightning
he whipped out his gun and covered
me, but I knew he would n't shoot a
man under such circumstances.

“Маё do you want?’ he said, low-
ering the muzzle of his gun a trifle.
His face had a curious expression, half
mad and half curious. .1—”

“1 thought he was crazy," inter-
rupted Roberts; ‘‘but you can bet I
wasn't taking any chances after what had

happened. When he told me he wanted to
apologize, I did n't know what to think. It
was the first time anybody had ever apologized
to me, but we fixed it up all right."

“And then a funny thing happened," con-
tinued Black. ‘‘Jack asked me to have a drink,
and I refused. I didn’t say anything about
never taking another drink as long as I lived, or
make any promises to him, but I've never
taken a drink since, and that's quite a span of
years ago. We sat down and talked things
over. Iliked him, and he was willing to over-
look what I had done; so we hooked up together
and became partners without drawing up any
legal papers, and we have n't drawn up any yet.

* Jack had business in Laramie, and I went
with him. We rode into town and hitched our
ponies in front of a drug store. We had not
gone far down the street when we met a young
man who looked sharply at me and then stepped
in front of us. I did not recognize him, but he

The Beginnings of the Drama in America
By DAVID BELASCO

Illustrated by Fletcher C. Ransom and W. C. Rice

[7 is my purpose, in this article, to familiarize the public with the con-

ditions that led to the formation of theatrical organizations in a
country which is.now offering more encouragement to the actor and the
stage than any other on the globe.

For what knowledge we have of things theatrical we must depend
wholly upon the manuscript journals and diaries left by the men who
lived at the time and who were accustomed to set down in their private
correspondence such things as were of unusual interest. As a conse-
quence of the correspondence and diaries left as a heritage to the student
of history, we are acquainted with many material things which, other-
wise, would have been buried.

It is a fact that the first regular organized dramatic company in New
York played there in 1732; but it is not known, however, whether the
members were merely amateurs, or numbered among them professional
players from England. John Moody speaks of having visited Jamaica
in 1745 and having played an engagement there for the edification of the
English colonists on the island. Moody afterwards became a celebrated
London comedian. It is chronicled that **Otway's Orphan" was per-
formed at a coffee house in King Street, in Boston, some time during
the year 1750, by two young Englishmen, assisted by young men of
the town.

Theatrical history in America may be said to have begun with the
production of Addison’s “Cato,” in Philadelphia, in August, 1749. We
have direct information on this point derived from a manuscript journal
left by John Smith, dated August 22, 1749. “Joseph Morris and I
happened in at Peacock Bigger’s and drank tea there, and his daughter,
being one of the company that was going to hear the tragedy, ‘Cato,’
acted, it occasioned some conversation, in which I expressed my sorrow
that anything of the kind was encouraged.”

The Common Council Endeavored to Suppress the Drama as a “ Disorder "

This production led to a regular series of entertainments, as in the
early part of 1750 Recorder, afterwards Chief Justice, William Allen
reported to the common council that certain persons had taken it upon
themselves to act plays, and he was informed that they were intending to
make a practice of committing such mischievous acts, and he feared that
such conduct would be attended with deleterious results, such as breeding

indolence and other vices. The board unanimously requested the
magistrates to take the most effectual measures for suppressing the
“disorder,” by sending for the actors and making them give bonds for
their future good behavior.

Robert Venable, an aged negro, born in 1736, who died in 1844,
related toa Mr. Waters an incident of the first play ever given in Philadel-
phia. According to his story, a company of gentlemen and ladies,
players from England, aroused considerable interest with a play given at
Plumstead's store. “The gentle ladies of the town were very much
exorcised,” he said, “Бу the attentions paid to the leading woman of the
company by the young sparks of the city." Her name was Nancy
Gouge, or George. It was recorded in the New York ''Gazette" that
she received a benefit in New York, in 1751, to which city she had come
from Philadelphia, where the magistrates had placed a ban on theatrical
performances. The first record of a performance in New York was of
one given March 5, 175o. The heads of the enterprise were Messrs.
Murray and Kean. "Thomas Kean was the principal player, and upon
him devolved the leading róle, in both tragedy and comedy.

The First Shakespearean Production Took Place on Nassau Street, New York

Kean described himself as a journalist. Another member of the
company was John Tremain, formerly a cabinetmaker, who was next
in importance to Kean. The latter was the original “ Richard III.” in
this country, as he was also the original ‘‘Captain Macheath,” in the
“ Beggar's Opera."

The New York “Gazette,” in the issue of February 26, 1750, an-
nounced as an important item of news that a company of comedians
had arrived the previous week from Philadelphia, and had taken rooms
formerly belonging to Ralph Van Dam, on Nassau Street, as a pla vhouse.
Тһе opening play was “Richard IIL," with Kean in the title róle.
When the companies played in Philadelphia, they did not advertise in
the papers, but did so in New York, and, as a consequence, the history
of the drama is clearer and more coherent than is the case in the City of
Brotherly Love.

New York claims the honor of the first Shakespearean production,
by reason of this performance; but this is by no means certain, as it may
have been the playing of ** Richard III." that caused the actors to be bound

over in Philadelphia and resulted in their emigrating to New York.
At any rate, this was the only Shakespearean play given that season.
Evidently the season was not prosperous, for Kean, in writing to a friend,
spoke of his financial straits by reason of poor patronage, and he feared
that he must go back to journalism.

The second season opened September 13, 1750, with the“ Recruiting
Officer." ''Cato" was first produced a week later, according to “The
Postboy” of September 24. In this issue, mention was made that this
play attracted the largest houses ever seen in New York. "The editor
further commented оп this fact in a statement wherein he said it re-
flected well on the intelligence and taste of the public, as it showed that
the people were inclined to encourage plays of sober thought. “Cato”
was ated soon after, with the addition of a pantomime. During the
months of October, November, and December, 175o, new plays were
added to the repertory. In summing up the strength of the attractions,
it was found that the operas drew best. In order to increase interest
between acts, songs and instrumental solos were rendered by different
members of the company. Тһе capacity of the theater was limited to
one hundred and sixty-one seats in the pit, ten in the boxes, and one
hundred and twenty-one in the gallery. At this capacity, one hundred
and twenty-six dollars and seventy-five cents could be taken in, although
it is related by one chronicler that, when the opera was produced, more
persons had bought tickets than could be accommodated in the theater,
which caused great dissatisfaction. А recurrence of this had much to
do with the closing down of thé theater, in 1751, and, besides, there were
many who appealed to the governor to refrain from giving his consent
to the carrying on of “Үе playes."

William Hallam Has often Been Called the “ Father of the American Stage"

This was the end of Thomas Kean's connection with the stage in
America, for, upon his partner Murray giving him a benefit, in which
he played “Richard ШІ.” free of any house share, he gave up his half
of any interest he was entitled to under the partnership agreement.

In the latter part of 1751, one Upton, having been sent to America
as an advance representative of William Hallam, an English actor of
repute and manager of standing in London, to pave the way for a
company of players selected by Hallam as a permanent organization in
the colonies, having little integrity and no regard for the interest of his
employer, affiliated with Murray, and, having obtained consent of the
governor, reopened the Nassau Street playhouse, cn December 26, in
* Othello," with Upton as the Moor. Tremain played “Таро,” and Mrs.
Upton “Desdemona.” “Тһе Provoked Husband" and the farce,
“Lethe,” followed soon after. Тһе concluding play of this season's
engagement was “Тһе Fair Penitent," and evidently Mrs. Tremain here
made her d¢but, for the programme recites that she would attempt the

rt,

T About this time Hallam, learning of the perfidy of his trusted agent,
determined that his vengeance should take the form of. business annihi-
lation, gathered around him a strong force, and sailed for the new country.
On landing herehe began by addressing letters to the pressassailing Upton
in most forcible terms, calling the latter
а pretender, and endeavoring to bring
down ridicule on the manner of the pro-
ductions and the character of the plays,
at the same time reciting how glorious
would be those offered by him when he
should have arranged the necessary de-
tails, such as time and place. With the
advent of Hallam, the stage assumed a
more pretentious aspect as regards the
interest it created and the influence it
exerted.

William Hallam has been called the
father of the American stage, a title he
does not deserve, inasmuch as he was
merely the backer of the enterprise that
his brother Lewis was to manage. The -
same William Hallam was the manager
of the Goodman Fields Theater, in Lon-
don, where David Garrick made his
débul, in 1741. We are told that the
American company was formed on the
sharing plan. The number of shares was
fixed at eighteen. There were twelve
adult performers, including the manager,
and each performer was allowed a share.
Lewis Hallam had another share às man-
ager, and a share was allowed to his three
children, the remaining four shares being
for the profit of the backer for the use of
his money. А company willing to agree
to the terms was enlisted, the plays were
selected, and the parts were assigned.
The pieces chosen were those that were
most popular on the London stage, at
that time, and many of them continued
to be played by the American company

from 1752 down to the Revolution. With this repertory and one pan-
tomime, ‘‘ Harlequin Collector, ог the Miller Deceived,” the adventurers
set sail in the ** Charming Sally," Captain Lee, early in May, 1752.

When the Upton-Murray Company disbanded in New York, at the
close of the season there, in 1751, it was soon reorganized, and was
playing in Virginia in the spring of 1752. Within a fortnight of Lewis
Hallam's arrival at Yorktown, the ‘‘company of comedians from
Virginia” reached Annapolis. This company had some kind of ex-
istence for more than twenty years. This goes to prove that the Hallam
company was not the first regularly organized theatrical company in this
country. Some writers have claimed that the theater in Annapolis
was the first erected in the United States; but this is not true, for what
was used as a theater was little better than a commercial warehouse.

Hallam found that the plays he brought with him from England had
previously been acted by Upton and his company. This caused a falling
off of interest, for the newspapers of the time strictured Hallam for not
giving them something new.

Of all the Plays Produced by the Early Companies, Only Two Have Survived

At Williamsburg, in the Virginia colony, on September 5, 1752,
Lewis Hallam produced, for the first time in America," The Merchant of
Venice.” The building which was used for a theater was in the suburbs
of the town, and it is said that it stood so near the woods that the manager
often stood in his door and shot pigeons for dinner. It was destroyed
by fire, some years later, and a new theater was built below the old
capitol. There was no orchestra for this occasion, but Mr, Pelham,
who gave lessons on the harpsichord in the town, was engaged with his
instrument to supply the music. The performance began with a pro-
logue. As it was the first composition that is preserved written for and
addressed to an American audience, it is looked upon, to-day, as a
curiosity. The only subsequent perforniance of the Williamsburg
engagement that can be found anywhere is that of the ninth of Novem-
ber, 1752. Mention is made of this in the “‘Maryland Gazette” of
November 17, and it is quite probable that this performance would have
passed by without notice had. not a lot of Indians visited the theater as
the guests of the governor. On this occasion “Othello” and “Напе-
quin Collector" comprised the bill.

Hallam remained in Virginia eleven months, and went directly from
Williamsburg to New York, where he arrived in June, 1753. His wel-
come was not very cordial, and permission to perform was at first denied.
Тһе old theater in Nassau Street was demolished, and a new one erected,
and the bill for the evening of the opening night, as published in the
New York “Gazette,” was “The Conscious Lovers." Тһе prices оп the
opening night were: box, eight shillings; pit, six shillings; gallery,
four shillings. For the second night, they were reduced to: box, six
shillings; pit, five shillings; gallery, three shillings. А month later there
was a further reduction, the pit being put at four shillings and the
gallery at two shillings. The days of performances were Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays, the season lasting from the seventeenth of
September, 1753, to the eighteenth of March, 1754.

There were twenty-one distinct plays
and twelve farces produced, which com-
prised only one third of the performances
of a season of six months. "These were
given under circumstances that must
have rendered the representations doubly
difficult, and yet were always played with
full casts and all parts acceptably filled,
if we are to believe the chronicler of the
period.

To the visitor toa theater of the pres-
ent day, the work of this company must
surely appear marvelous, aside from the
arduous labor of presenting so many
plays in such rapid succession, both pla vs
and farces comprised in a list being ca-
pable of an exceedingly interesting
analysis, They include not only the
best works, in a dramatic sense, but also
the purest plays the English stage had
produced up to that time. The authors
were men, with a few exceptions, whose
fame will form a part of the glory of
English dramatic literature until the world
ceases to prize English letters. "Their
names us writers for the stage have а
familiar sound; but, with the exception
of Shakespeare's, their plays have dis-
appeared from the boards. None of the
farces or comedies survived, and only two
of the tragedies—Moore's '* Gamester *
and a revamped version of Rowe's ** Jane
Shore,"—have been seen by this gener-
ation. That they should have been so
completely forgotten is all the more ге-
markable because their authors are still

Т == elevator soared upward swiftly. At the
fifth floor it stopped, with a pensive, pneu-
matic sigh, and two men stepped out.

** Good!” exclaimed the older passenger, as
they left the car, “I'm glad we happened to
reach the office together; it ’s early, too,"—with
a glance at the clock in the corridor,—''not yet
half past eight. We'll have time to run over
the points in that railroad case and begin on
those defective titles for the land company be-
fore Williamson's appointment at nine. And,
І wanted to tell you, Markley has decided to
retain us in his suit against the quarry people,—
it will bea big thing if we win out. Then there 's
that trolley scrap with the L.,V., and O., over the
right of way,—Howland 'phoned me that he 'd
be in on the 9:20. I suppose you have the
papers in that bankruptcy case, Hadley?"

** Yes," replied the younger man; ‘‘I saw the
parties last evening. They won't settle without
a fight, —I told Morris we 'd see him here at
eleven. Looks as if we 'd have a busy morning.
Isuppose Miss Barry has the mail."

Passing through the anteroom and entering
the spacious inner office, Hadley, the junior
member of the firm, tossed a sheaf of papers,
tightly embraced by a rubber band, upon his
perfectly appointed mahogany desk, and, with a
single movement, flung his broad shoulders out
of his heavy overcoat.

**T tell you, Hollister," he said, “а cold bath—
really cold, you know,—is the greatest thing in
the world! There’s nothing like a breathless
plunge and a brisk rub to shock one’s faculties
awake. We played bridge last night at the
Dysart’s till one o’clock, and had champagne and
a ‘chafe’ afterwards; very good sport, and all very
well for the care-free single, but it spells dis-
sipation for the married toiler, —how the women
stand it I don’t know!”

“Sounds рау!” remarked the older man, with
а half note of envy in his voice. “Му wife
won't play bridge,—prefers chess with me or one
of those deadly moral games, ‘flin’ or ‘pitch,’
with the youngsters, and, as for champagne,—
well! ! ”

Тһе clock in the corridor struck the half hour
sonorously as Hadley seated himself at his desk
and snapped the elastic from the pile of folded

P Why, what on earth!" he exclaimed, sur-
prisedly, as he took up and unfolded the top-
most document. :

Its appearance was distinctly un-legal. The

r was thick and creamy and its faint,
blossomy odor breathed forth unmistakable
femininity. A much contorted silver mono-

m writhed across the upper corner. Before
he had deciphered a word of its contents, which
were penciled and bore a hurried look, the
telephone bell rang.

* That’s probably Pennock,” called Hollister,
from his desk in his own special sanctum. “Не

about that judgment,—just tell him that we 71
be busy all the morning, but if he can drop in
after lunch we 'll examine into the matter."

Hadley took down the receiver.

“ Hello!—Yes, this is their office.—Yes, I said
so, Hollister and Hadley. 15 that you, Pen-
nock?—Hello! is that Mr. Pennock?” А
lengthened, throbbing pause ensued, and Hadley
called again, impatiently, ““ Hello, central! who
rang Hollister and Hadley, just now?"

“Is that Mr. Hadley?" came in suavest ac-
cents from the exchange. “А lady—Mrs.
Hadley, I think,—wanted you; but I guess she
‘hung up;' she ЛІ probably call you later."

Hadley replaced the receiver and went back
to his desk.

“Tt was n't Pennock," he said, as he passed
Hollister's door. “Му wife wished to speak
to me; that 'sall, Can you go over these bank-
ruptcy papers now, Phil?"

** Yes, or—in a minute; I ’m in the middle of
this railroad data; I say, Horace, before you sit
down, just dictate a reply to this letter of Al-
ston’s; Miss Barry can take it now; it should be
mailed at once.”

Hadley took the letter and entered the wide-
windowed alcove, where a typewriter was
clicking busily.

Не had progressed as far as “Dear Sir:—"
when the telephone pealed again.

Hollister answered it this time.

**Hello!—Yes, this is Hollister and Hadley.
Is that Jim Pennock?—Oh, beg pardon, Mrs.
Hadley,—yes, he’s here; I'll call him.—Busy?
—no, not very; he’ll be right here.”

He left the receiver swinging and went into
the alcove.

“Your wife wants you, Hadley. Give me
Alston's letter; I'll finish it."

“Hello, Clara!" called Hadley.—'' Yes, it's
I. You rang me before, didn't you? Any-
thing wrong?—Oh,—who brought the note?—
Speak up a little!—I can't hear you,—Willie
Gleason; well, what of it?—Oh, you just hung
up the receiver till you'd read it.—Yes, I under-
stand; that's all right; but go on, Clara,—what
do you want now?—

“ List, what list?—No, I didn’t find any list.—
You slipped it under the rubber band round my
papers?—Well, I didn't see it; you must be
mistaken.—Oh, hold on, though, —I believe I
did find it, after all,—written on your go-to-
meeting stationery, wasn't it?—but I hadn't
timetoreadit. Whatisitand what's to be done
with it, anyhow?—Oh, the list of partners for
the new series of your whist club!—How many
typewritten copies?— T wenty?—Yes, I suppose
she can; not before lunch, though, for she's
rushed, this morning.— Well, I'll see,—perhaps,
—she can crowd them in, І guess.— Yes, I can
bring them home with meat noon.—No, I won't
forget to order the flowers, and I'll stop at Mrs.
Barker's for the score sheets. Anything else?—
What?—Speak up а little, Clara!—Rain?—No,

l don't think it's going to rain; good-by."

Hadley, standing with his back to the door,
had scarcely embarked upon the waves of this
conversation when he was acutely aware that
some one had entered the room behind him and
had passed on into Hollister's office.

He hung up the 'phone, and, going to his desk,
began a hurried search for the feminine, cream-
tinted sheet that had puzzled his momentary
glance earlier in the morning.

It appeared that Mrs. Hadley, “lest she for-
get," had tucked it under the elastic band con-
fining the bankruptcy papers, intending to ex-
plain its pe before he went downtown; but,
in the ntrvous distraction resulting from late
hours the night before and the heavy responsi-
bility of entertaining the Woman’s Whist Club,
that afternoon, she had characteristically neg-
lected to mention it.

Hadley hunted wildly, but it was several
minutes before the errant list of gaming ladies
was finally run to earth in the wastebasket,
where it had significantly drifted.

Seizing the penciled missive, he took it to Miss
Barry and hastily instructed her to strike off a
score of copies, "ай odd moments," during the
forenoon. For some reason (һе stenographer
appeared to develop an unusual obtuseness in
the matter of comprehending his directions, and
required details and explanations, not to mention
several translations of the illegibly written names.

Hollister was giving grave attention to the in-
dividual who had entered while Hadley was
talking, and, as the latter left the alcove, his
partner signed to him to join the Conference.
'The man was a prominent merchant from a
neighboring town, and the case which he had
brought for their consideration was of con-
siderable importance.

Hadley's instructions to Miss Barry regarding
the list of whist players had been plainly audible,
and, in view of his recent conversation at the
"phone, he felt uneasily that the new client must
look upon him as an essentially light-minded
junior partner.

Assuming his most sage expression, he listened
attentively to the merchant’s statement of his
difficulty, but Mr. March persistently talked
straight at Hollister, and it was with a feeling of
relief that Hadley heard the peremptory sum-
mons of the ‘phone.

He left the room to answer it.

“НеШо!--Үев, this is the office.—No, this is
Mr. Hadley talking.—Oh, is it you, Mrs. Hol-
lister?—No, not particularly busy. Hold the
'phone а moment and I'll call him."

He summoned his partner and went back to
the litigating merchant, who refused absolutely
to go on with his tale and sat in stony silence
waiting for Hollister's return.

* We-e-ell, Augusta, what is it?— The mis-
sionary meeting, next week?—Yes, I know you
have to read a paper.—Whose name?—The

remember his name.—No, I haven't his ad-
dress.— What 5 that, Augusta?—the cannibals
ate him!—Good gracious, Gussiel—Oh, Han-
nabals!—Yes, I remember; the Hannabals had
him for tea,—sounds pretty much like the same
thing, does п! it?—All right, I won't joke.—
Yes, they 'd probably know where he lives. I'll
stop there on my way home and get the address.
Anything else?—A pound of creamery butter?
All right; I'll bring it with me. Good-by,
Gussie!”

The clock іп the hall had sounded nine five
minutes since, and Williamson, with whom the
firm was associated in an important lawsuit,
appeared.

At his entrance Mr. March got up, and, rather
lukewarmly making an appointment for the
morrow, abruptly took his leave.

Twenty minutes passed and the three men
were deeply absorbed in the fascinating en-
tanglements of a knotty legal problem, when the
bell of destiny rang again.

Hollister threw a supplicating look at his
partner and went on talking with great rapidity.
But Hadley's eyes were glued
to the rug at his feet and his
brows were bent in the frown of
complete mental abstraction.

Тһе 'phone spoke once more,
in the imperative mood.

Hollister seized a pen and
plunged it into the ink.

“You see, Williamson, it’s
like this: first we have—is n't
that the telephone, Hadley?"

As he took down the receiver
the exchange called a third time,
and the interrupted bell casta-
netted at Hadley's ear with an
irritating rattle.

“ Hello!—Hello!—2 ello/"' he
called, through the clatter,‘‘ who
is it?—Oh, it's you, Clara!
Well, what?—Provoked? No,
I’m not provoked,—not at all,
—just go ahead, Clara,—what
is it?—Yes, she’s working on
them now; I'll bring them home
at noon. Isaid I would, did пч
I?—Is that all? Good-b——
Yes,—well, I’m waiting; I
thought you were through.—
Yes, I can hear you.— Who
can't come ?—Mrs. Mapleson?
—Yes; all right; I'll ask her.—
Who?—Oh, Mrs. Beecham,—
she'sto play with Mrs.Beecham.
— Yes, I'll urge her.—Splitting
headache? Too bad! I’m sorry,
—can 't you take something?—
Yes, I?ll attend toit and let you
know right away. Good-by!’’

Hadley hung up the receiver
and strode across the room to the opposite wall,
where, in nickely newness, glittered the recently-
installed, less-used telephone of a competing
company.

"Hello! Please give me Mrs. Arthur Jen-
nings's residence."

“Is that Mrs. Jennings? This is Mr. Hadley
talking —Hadley,—Mr. Horace Hadley, My
wife would like to have you attend the whist
club meeting, this afternoon. It would be a
great favor; Mrs. Mapleson can’t be present, it
seems, and Clara will be awfully obliged if you
will take her place. She could n't ‘phone you
herself, as we have the other line in the house,
Your partner will be Mrs. Bee——— What
did you say?—A mistake?—You don’t play
whist?—Wh y, Mrs. Jennings, surely,——What?—
Your daughter-in-law?—Oh, you are Mrs.
Albert Jennings; I asked for Mrs. Arthur.
Pray excuse me, Mrs. Jennings! Sorry to have
troubled you!—Thanks! yes, it's а gloomy
morning, very, Good-by P

"Hello Is that Mrs. Arthur Jennings? I
called а moment ago and they gave me your

mother-in-law, by mistake.— Yes, they do
blunder dreadfully. Clara wants to know if you
will kindly substitute for Mrs, Mapleson at the
‘whist,’ this afternoon.—It ’s at our house, you
know. We have the other ’phone and so she
could n't ask you herself. You ’ll come, won't
you?—What's that—? What——? І can't
hear you.—Oh, J say, central, what 's wrong?"

The smooth tones of Mrs. Jennings had un-
expectedly changed to a croaking crackle with
an undertone resembling a subdued roar. Тһе
new ‘phone choked distressfully, and gulped
and strangled in a spasm of asphyxiated sound.
Hadley shook it viciously. Suddenly, with
startling loudness, the wandering voice re-
turned. ‘‘Yes.—Of course.—I understand.—
Something cut us off.—All right, now, though;
then I 'll tell my wife that you 'll be on hand.—
What?—Oh, did n't I tell you?—Your partner
will be Mrs. Beecham? She 's one of the best
players in the club.—What did you say?—Y ou
won't play with her'—Why not?—O-h,—she
did, did she? Oh, well, Mrs. Jennings, I don't
think she meant anything. You'd better re-

consider.—No?—Yes, of course, I'll explain
to Clara, if you insist, but it 's rather a mistake,
I think.—Oh, certainly, you should know best,
but,—well, good-by!”

The sound of Hadley's polite farewell to Mrs.
Jennings blended discordantly with Hollister's
brusque “Hello!” at the other "phone.

** Hello! Is that you, Augusta?—Yes, it 's me.
Do be as quick as you can, please; we're
rushed to death.—

“Pencil and paper? All right, —I ‘уе got ’em;
go on.—The bakery won't answer? Why won't
it?—Oh, they 've taken out this ‘phone! Well,
never mind; Ill order the things,—four dozen
apple macaroons.—What,—Oh, almond'—all
right, they "е down; go on. Four dozen lady-

and three quarts of chocolate ice cream to

Well, that 's what you said, Augusta.—All right;
I 've fixed it, —at seven o'clock, this evening, for
the Christian Legion Social. Is that all?—No,
I won't forget.—I ‘ll order them at once.—

right.—Yes, I уе quinine in my pocket.—Good-
by!”

“Oh, hang it! Hollister," said Hadley's voice,
behind him, in an undertone that vibrated with
impatience, *do hurry up with that Christian
banquet and let the world, the flesh, and the
gaming table have a chance at the "phone;" and,
plucking the receiver from his partner's hand, he
rang with whirring emphasis.

In the moment which elapsed before his call
was answered a knock at the door and a sound
of footsteps caused him to turn his head a trifle
and throw a sidelong glance over his shoulder.

Hollister was following two men into the inner
room. He could not see who they were, and
just then his wife's voice smote his ear.

“I say, Clara, Mrs. Jennings is-very sorry,
but she says- she must de—What?—Can 't
you hear me?— There, is that better? Well,
Mrs. Jennings says she can't possibly come this
afternoon. She says she'll never play again
with Mrs. Beecham anywhere. It seems Mrs.
B. pitched into her before everybody at the last
meeting,—criticised her trump lead or some-
thing,—and they haven’tspoken
since. I must say, Clara, this
whist club of yours is an eye-
opener on character! I’d never
have supposed those two women
wereso spitefully narrow-mind-
ed.—Yes, you'll have to find
someone else; only, for pity's
sake, Clara, let it be a woman
who's got this 'phone.—No, I
won't forget the lists or the score
sheets; I've а memorandum

inned to my coat lapel.—Good-
y!"

With a sigh of thankfulness,
Hadley hung up the receiver and
entered the other room.

Astricken silence greeted him.
Hollister was fumbling fussily in
a drawer, seemingly in search
of something that was hard to
find. Williamson, a cold-blooded
bachelor, eyed him commiser-
atingly and was plainly trying
not to laugh.

Тһе tall, thin man with the
black beard and the crimson
countenance was Mr. Jennings.
Тһе little, round man with eye-
glasses and a nervous manner
was Mr. Beecham.

Rooted to the spot stood
Hadley, the accusing echo of
his last impulsive words ringing
dizzily in his ears.

But the thrilling tension could
not last; Williamson relieved it
by breaking into open laughter.

“Gentlemen,” he said, rising
to take his leave, “I уе had doubts, at times,
about the wisdom of remaining unmarried, but
my visit here this morning has removed them
forevermore.—I "па single man to the end of
my days," and he went his way, bound straight
—as the others were uncomfortably aware,—to
his club, to relate, with what piquant embel-
lishments they could only imagine, his chuckling
tale!

Hadley repaired the tattered situation as best
he could. He turned red, stammered, apolo-
gized, and tried to laugh it off; but, as the door
closed behind the offended backs of Messrs.
Jennings and Beecham, he said to himself, be-
tween his teeth, “There go two influential votes
against me when I announce mysclf for state's
attorney, next month!”

The entrance of Howland, the trolley mag-
nate, put an end to his somber reflections, and
for half an hour business buzzed. Then—
* Whir-r-r!" shrieked the fateful bell.

“Miss Barry,” said Hollister, quietly, ‘‘ will
you please answer that call and take the mes-
sage? Say we're very much engaged and can 't

be disturbed for an hour, at the very least."

Miss Barry was gone some time. She had
closed the door between the rooms, and her low
voice was quite inaudible to the busy men.

When she came back, her face wore a puzzled
expression.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Hollister, but there
seems to be a misunderstanding. Mrs. Hol-
lister wanted you to ring up the bakery—Wil-
son's bakery,—immediately, on the other 'phone,
and tell them not to send the things to the church
this evening,—the social is postponed. I
thought I could tell the bakery, but they say
they did n't get any order, so I—"

“That’s right! they did n't,” rejoined Hol-
lister, laconically, ‘‘because I forgot to give it.
Please go back and tell them it 's all right; the
order was a mistake,—they 're not to send any-
thing anywhere under any circumstances what-
ever! You were saying, Мг. Howland,—”

At eleven the bankrupt, Morris, arrived. Тһе
partners were still busily engaged with the
trolley matter, and he was politely requested to

Morris waited patiently. Suddenly the 'phone
bell rang.
Not a sound came from the other room. With
an accent of sardonic glee, it rang again.
Morris rose obligingly. “Never mind!" he
called, through the shut panels,“ I 'll answer it."
As he hung up the receiver the closed door
opened. Howland was taking his departure.
“It was one of your wives," said Morris, ad-
dressing the firm jointly. “І do n't know which
one it was,—but, anyway, when she found it
was n't either of you at the 'phone she said to tell
her husband to please stop at the academy, this
afternoon, for the children, and take them to
your mother's for dinner, She's having a
party or something, and there are just enough
places for the guests. She's got such а head-
ache, she says, that she’s afraid she 'll forget

course I'd have found out who she was if

now,—wait,—I ‘ll get those papers at once."

The elevator sank downward swiftly. At
the marble-floored entrance hall it stopped, and
Hollister and Hadley stepped out together.

Whiz!—Clang!—A trolley car rocked past the
high-arched doorway. They flew to catch it.
When they were seated, after a breathless
scramble, and were well on their way uptown,
Hadley unbuttoned his overcoat to find his fare,
and a fragment of white paper caught his eye,
attached to his coat lapel. He unpinned it,
and examined it curiously.

“Look here, Hollister," he said, exhibiting
the scribbled slip; “I’m a guilty man!—I for-
got ’em all!’ He read, ‘‘‘Whist lists,'—fiendish
sound, isn’t it? ‘Five dozen pink and white
carnations,’ ‘Score sheets,—Barkers.'—They
live a mile and a half t’ other end of town.—
‘Take children, dinner, mother's.'— Thank
heaven, I can still do that! Do stop laughing,
Phil. There's no occasion for such ribald
mirth! And,—er,—by the way, aren't we

BOOKS

HE medicinal properties of books have long been known to the
learned, and they are a favorite topic of old philosophers and
students. That quaint old specialist on melancholy, Robert Burton,
in his famous ‘‘Anatomy of Melancholy,” extols reading as of all reme-
dies the most efficacious. “ "T is," says he, “the best nepenthe, surest
cordial, sweetest alterative, presentest diverter,” and he gathers to-
gether, in his quaint way, the testimonials of all manner of men, kings and
saints and poets, telling us how Cardan calls a library ‘‘the physick of
the soul,” how Ferdinand and Alphonsus, kings of Aragon and Sicily,
“were both cured by reading the history, one of Curtius, the other
of Livy, when no prescribed physick" was of avail, and so on.

Good Literature now Takes the Place of Doctors for Thousands of People

Тһе Scriptures he compares to “ап apothecary's shop, wherein are
remedies for all infirmities, purgatives, cordials, alteratives, corrobo-
ratives, lenitives;" this only being re-
quired,—‘‘that the sick man take the

tion which God hathalready tempered."

e medical efficacy of sacred writings,
whether or not we regard (һе belief as
superstitious, has been practically believed
in and acted upon in all times and among
all peoples. А text suspended round the
neck has seemed more than equal to a
bottle of medicine, and it would not, per-
haps, be fantastic to ascribe a large share
in the vigorous health of our forefathers
to their constant reading of the Bible. In
our day there is a certain book which,
perhaps more than any other in any
time, illustrates humanity's deep faith in
the curative properties of literature. It
takes the place of doctors for thousands
and tens of thousands of apparently intel-
ligent people. Who of us suffering from
some ailment has not among hisacquaint-

It was my wife,”
was n't there a pound of butter?”

ances a friend who, hearing of his trouble,
will confidently place in his hand a slim book
in flexible morocco binding, saying, “ Read
this, and you will need no medicine." Such
is the touching faith of, I suppose, millions of
people in the gospel according to Mary B. С,
Eddy. But, evidently, it is no part of my
А business to throw discredit on that conviction,
L Rather is it my wish to extend the applica-
Bf ноп of that principle to other—and, dare I
say it? better,—literature. Тһе fundamental
tenet of Christian Science is, I understand,
that all disease exists only in the mind, and
Christian Science, therefore, quite appropri-
ately, one might say necessarily, brings the
cure in the form of a book. We have not
waited, of course, for Christian Science to
teach us the power of the mind over the
body, though, in specializing that truth, it has
given a motive of achievement to а useful
principle. What shall minister to a mind
diseased, if not the food and physic of the
mind,—literature? For mental sickness, men-

obviously the shortest way to a cure is through the mind. If gout, for
example, is merely the physical expression of some mental disorder, it is
surely better to attack it a! Ж (тесе
its source in the mind, rather j
than at its remote extension
in the great toe. The aim,
therefore, of the literary
doctor, in such a case, would
be to discover the initial
trouble in the mind of thë
sufferer and apply to it the
appropriate literary reme
dies. Iam not aware that
any doctor has as yet under:
taken the systematic literary
treatment of disease, but I ЙМ
am convinced, and, indeed, f |!
itis easy to see, that such
treatment is not only feasi
ble, but likely, with the ad-
vance of mental science, to
take an important place
among those methods for the alleviation of human suffering of which
we can not have too many. When the science, for which I merely
throw out a few suggestions,shall have become definitely organized, the
library will take the place of the dispensary, and, instead of giving us
prescriptions composed of nauseous drugs, the physician will write down
the titles of delightful books,—books tonic or narcotic, stimulating or
sedative, as our need may be.
Such a Cure, Instead of Being ап Ordeal, Will Be Looked for with Pleasure
Thus, at the outset, illness will be robbed of half its misery,—the cus-
tomary disagreeable processes of getting well. Instead of painful surgery,
or evil-tasting doses of ugly-looking drugs, we shall be indulged with the
energizing essences, or the honeyed cordials, of great and charming books,
and,when medicine time comes round, instead of tablespoon and phial,

and “the mixture as before," the dainty nurse will seat
herself at one's bedside, volume in hand, with an eagerly
anticipated ‘‘ Now it is time for another chapter ;" or
“I think it is time for your poetry, Mr. So and So;"
and the doctor's visit, instead of being an ordeal, will be
looked forward to as а pleasant exchange of literary
confidences. That doctor, by the way, will, more often
than at present, be a lady; for one incidental outcome of
the establishment of literary medicine will be an in-
crease in the number of lady doctors, the feminine
mind being more receptive to literary influences than
the masculine, and more ready to welcome literary
originality and innovation, as we have seen in the case .
of Browning and Meredith and Ibsen, prophets whose
first vogue was largely due to women.

Much observation and experiment will necessarily
have to be undertaken before literary therapeutics can be
established on any such firm basis as the more familiar
methods of medical science, but it is not difficult to fore-
cast the main lines upon which it will proceed, and it is
easy for anyone to make simple experiments upon himself or his friends. :
I would certainly hesitate to do more than indicate a few possible princi-
ples for general application. Difficult ailments would of necessity need
complex and experienced treatment, for the new literary medicine will
be no slapdash quackery, pretending to cure all the complicated ills of
man with one uniform bolus. By no means! On the contrary, it will
be the most subtly adjusted treatment imaginable, based on the most
minute and painstaking study of the patient's mental and spiritual as
well as physical condition.

Gout Would Probably Be of all our Bodily Ills the Most Difficult to Remedy

The broad principles underlying this course will be subject to as
many variations and niceties of application as there are patients, and it is
easy to see what delicate skill will be needed by one whose field of
operation is the terribly sensitive nerve matter of the mind, rather
than the coarser fiber of the body. Think of the risk, in a dangerous
case, of prescribing the wrong author! Suppose, in that case of gout,
for example, an inexperienced young literary doctor should prescribe
for an irascible old colonel half-hourly doses of Keats or Shelley! Im-
agine the immediate rise in the patient's temperature and the perilously
accelerated action of the heart! "The doctor might count himself lucky
if apoplexy did not supervene. Gout, in any case, would be a difficult
disease to treat, chiefly from that irascibility which is, perhaps, its best-
known symptom. From that point of view, light, amusing books would,
of course, be advisable, or books dealing with hunting or any other form
of sport. The novels of J. G. Whyte Melville and Captain Hawley
Smart have often proved invaluable, in such cases. But here we come
upon one of the difficulties of the new science, for too exclusive use of
such books would be highly inadvisable, for the reason that while, in-
deed, they divert the patient from his troubles and keep him in
temper, they at the same time are filling his mind with pictures of that
full-blooded jolly life from whch his troubles have arisen, and are thus
nourishing at its very center the mental roots of his disease. What our
gout patient really needs is literature that will break up rather than con-
tinue his mental habits,—literature that will de-materialize him, and
clarify his blood with austere and spiritualizing nutriment,— literature,
in short, that will make him entirely forget his stomach and remember
only his soul.

But how to reconcile him to such a diet! Such nutriment is not
easily disguised, and to administer such an ethereal tonic in the capsule
of a sporting novel seems hardly feasible. Probably the best general
treatment for such a case would be a course of Shakespeare, for in
‘Shakespeare the combination of humanity with ideal try is so
successful that the gouty colonel, while laughing at Falstaff, would, at
the same time,without being uncomfortably conscious of it, be breathing
in that crystalline air that blows about the peaks of the
masterpieces.

At the opposite pole from our gout patient one can
imagine similar difficulties of treatment to arise. Неге,
say, we have a consumptive, anemic patient, who is
already ethereal enough and needs to be fed on the beef
and brawn of literature. But for such literature the patient
has no taste. On the contrary, he languishes for Maeter-
linck and the poets of moonshine, whereas the food he
needs for his all too sidereal brains is such earthly human
writers as Fielding, Dickens, and Balzac. Here, again,
Shakespeare may be recommended as the divine com-
promise. There is another great writer who, in all cases
of doubtful treatment, may unfailingly be resorted to,—
Alexandre Dumas, who comes nearest of all writers to
being a literary cure-all. He is incomparably the most
useful writer for all nervous diseases, but indeed there is
no form of sickness to which he may not be applied. A
set of Dumas is as indispensable in a sick room as a nurse
or pure air. In all cases likely to prove serious or long,
the doctor should immediately send in a set of Dumas,
whatever subsequent finesse of treatment may prove nec-

essary. Thereasonis evident. One of the first neces-
sities of the successful treatment of disease, and
particularly so when the treatment is mental, is the
distraction of the patient’s mind from his complaint.
Now, of all writers, Dumas has the power of thus tak-
ing us out of ourselves. So great, indeed, is his power,
in this respect, that I can imagine painful operations
being performed with no other anesthetic than a chapter
or two from the lines of D’Artagnan, or from that
equally fascinating hero, Bussy D’Amboise. Of all
books ever written, ‘‘The Three Musketeers” and
" Madame De Monsareau”’ have most of this magic gift;
and à greater boon to suffering humanity than such
enchanted oblivion can not be named. Хо other such
treasure of self-forgetfulness has ever been bestowed
upon mankind as the novels of Alexandre Dumas. And
the happy thing, too, is that they are practically
inexhaustible, for so gloriously voluminous are they
that, by the time one has read them all through, he is
sufficiently remote from the first read to be able to start
in and read them all over again. When Dumas was born insomnia lost
its terrors; for, so long as one has a volume of his for company, he can
easily face the most sleepless night without fear, and when at last he
falls asleep it is with the contented weariness of a mind healthily fatigued
with exhilarating exercise. Dickens and Balzac run this author close,
in this respect, but both need a greater mental effort than Dumas, whose
dashing narrative seems to run sparkling into our minds,—almost, in-
deed quite, without our consciousness of reading. Nor must we forget
Tolstoi,—in his earlier books,—among the great masters of forgetfulness.
I have known a case of asthma of years standing all but cured by ‘‘ Peace
and War," the long-drawn delight of the cure being nicely apportioned
to the long-drawn distress of the disease. І have also found Victor
Hugo useful in cases of asthma. Among moderns, Mark Twain may
be mentioned as a universal specific, though, owing to a certain tendency
in him to provoke fits of laughter, he is to be read with great caution in
all pulmonary or bronchial complaints, as in such cases those fits of
laughter are apt to provoke dangerous fits of coughing. But, generally
speaking, humorous books are of all books the most useful in literary
treatment. Laughter is the most spontaneous and health- giving of all
our emotions, and the man who can make us laugh in a large, whole-
hearted way is, perhaps, the most important benefactor of the race. Іп
this respect no modern has equaled Dickens, and it must be confessed
that the literary dispensary is more poorly furnished in books of laughter
than in any other kind. Real big laughter seems a lost art in litera-
ture, at the moment. А new brand of “pills to purge melancholy”
would be sure of a wide welcome.

Serious-Minded Patients, Who Take their Pleasures Sadly, Need Serious Reading

But here, as always, the individual patient must be carefully con-
sidered. 'There are some patients who resent with shrill irritation
books that make it their evident business to amuse or otherwise entertain,
—serious-minded patients who find humor childish and fiction frivo-
lous,—who take their pleasures sadly and can only be diverted by books
of solid purpose or useful information. Ав there is no lack of such
books in every library, the physician will find it easy to prescribe, in
such cases, but I may suggest for his guidance that he should by no
means overlook the somewhat curious efficacy of sermons. For а nu-
merous class of patients volumes of epigrammatic homilies provide a
distracting excitement which no other form of literature can give; for such
Dumas and Dickens are not to be mentioned with T. De Witt Talmage.
One has always to remember that amusement and distraction are relative
things. There are not a few people, and not the least human, to whom
games of any sort are the dreariest of all serious things. Тһе games
seem consciously and desperately set to divert us, so for such people a
hard day's work at the office is vastly more amusing than a hand at cards
ora game of chess. Pleasure is an exceedingly personal
matter, and other people's pleasures are among the deep
mysteries of life; but thus much is sure,—there is no use
in our offering them ours. One danger, therefore, which
but slightly applies to other forms of therapeutics, the
literary physician will need to be on his guard against,—
the prescribing of а medicine because he happens to like
it himself. He may have a private weakness for George
Meredith or Walter Pater or Henry James, and be very
much tempted to indulge himself by making a curative
fad of such writers, as occasionally one finds an ordinary
doctor making a habit of prescribing some fashionable
drug underall possible and even impossible circumstances.
No, the literary physician must sink his own personal
predilections, and, if it seems likely that the patient will be
benefited, say by doses of Marie Corelli, he must prescribe
the distasteful mixture without flinching.

_ One may note here, as a side issue of the practice of
literary medicine, what a new and lucrative field it will
open up for the writer, inaugurating quite a new demand
for his books, and, incidentally, a vast new area of adver-

SCHUMANN-HEINK,
who has contributed the
article. on “Studying for
Grand Opera'' for this issue
of SUCCESS MAGAZINE, has
shown in her life that emi-
пепсе in a profession does
not necessarily destroy a
woman's capacity as а
home-maker. Artistic
achievement and all the
triumphs of a splendid pro-
fessional career have never
displaced in her affections
the more humble interests
of her home and family.
No other artist on the oper-
atic stage has so endeared
herself to the American
people as has this greatest
ofliving contraltos. When
she came to this country,
under the direction of Mau-
rice Grau, a few years ago,
she at once becamehis most
popular star, and the Metro-
politan Opera House was
crowded whenever she ap-
peared.

Mme. Schumann-Heink,
née Roessler, is a native of
Austria. She was born at
Lisbon, a small town near
Prague, where her father
was commandant ofthe mili-
tary post. She was a heed-
less child, with a great pro-
pensity for playing tricks,
and her parents finally sent
her to a convent school, at
Prague, where the strict
discipline might tame her.
The nuns discovered that
the wild child committed to
their care possessed a won-
derful voice. Opportunity
was given for development,
and, when shewas seventeen
years old, she made a public
appearance at Dresden.
where she sang Azucena in
"Il Trovatore." She made
а brilliant success, and be-
gan therewith her operatic

EW singers there are now who may truly be called great, for the
world has changed much in the last twenty years, and those who
would be singers are, for the most part, spoiled, pampered, and effemi-
nated. "They have not the reserve energy of their predecessors, and,
above all else, they lack the sacred, honest, true enthusiasm for their
art that formerly was characteristic of aspirants for the opera and the
concert stage. y

All beginners wish to be looked upon as “high priestesses of song.”
There is none who is willing to climb arduously to that pinnacle by
“serving.” As it is in the commercial world, where the watchword is
“Get rich quick," no matter how, so it has become in art, where ‘‘ideal-
ism and true art" and the gradual, sure stepping-stones to fame and
fortune have been cast aside.

Study should begin when one is between the ages of sixteen and
eighteen. Only after three months of regular practice with a first-class
instructor is it possible for the teacher to say whether or not the voice in
question is capable of development and cultivation to a great degree.
Тһе greatest talent requires a given time to be tested. Тһе beginning
is made with the scales and "sol-fas," The notes may be made interest-
ing with Italian text-words, and color may be given to the voice by
exercise in the singing of the vowels. Delivery should be taught with
single words. Expression should be practiced by the singing of the
scales, and all the emotions of humankind may be thus pictured,—death,
love, joy, exaltation, despair, and grief. So, also, may the student be
benefited by the exercise of certain given words in their relative meaning.

After two years of constant exercise in expression, diction, delivery,
and, chief of all, proper breathing, a beginning is made with small songs.
Let these not be shallow, transitory compositions, but, rather, selections
from the works of such composers as Mendelssohn, Schubert, and
Schumann. Coincident with the learning of these songs, a slow and
careful study of small réles is, to my mind, advisable.

Let me remark here that a contralto with great range should not
attempt to sing mezzo soprano róles, for the proper field for her voice
is sufficiently ample, and, by avoiding the mezzo field, she will con-
serve her voice to a great age, as witness Amalia Joachim, Germany’s
late foremost concert contralto. Let me here, for the first time, con-
tradict the oft-repeated statement that Wagner is ruinous to
the voice. І, myself, began my career as a grand opera singer
at the age of seventeen. I have been before the public for the

t twenty-seven years,and in that time have undergone all
the hardships of poverty and have fought my way upward
against overwhelming odds. Fifteen years of my career were
spent in Hamburg, where I sang grand opera, comic opera,
and musical farce; where I sang in concerts; where I played
straight comedy, or dramatic or tragic róles; and where, be-
sides, want put me to the necessity of giving vocal instruction
to eke out my existence and provide for my numerous depend-

career, which has included
appearances in more than
one hundred comic and
more then two hundred
grand operas, in some of
which she has appeared as
many as one hundred and
twenty times,

After her appearance at
the Wagner Festival at Bai-
reuth, in 1896, she was ac-
claimed one of the most

owerful contraltos ever

nown. Нег (ате since
then has been world-wide.
It is probable that no wo-
man ever enjoyed a greater
uninterrupted series of suc-
cesses,

Mme.Schumann-Heink's
greatest réles have been
Carmen in Bizets opera;
Ortud, in Wagner's *' Lo-
hengrin;" Zrunhi/d, in
Wagner's '"Tannhüuser;''
Fides, in Meyerbeer's "Le
Prophète; ''and the witch,
in Humperdinck's ** Hansel
und Gretel. Іп each of
these she has scored a dis-
tinct success. After the
exhibition of her tragic

owers as Fides, in ''

ophéte," it was said that
she had done morefor grand
opera than any other woman
on the stage.

Her favorite 5005 the

eat composers is ner,
бай her favorite róle, E»
in''Lohengrin," She has,
indeed, created more Wag-
nerian réles than all other
prima donnas together.

Amid all these triumphs,
she never lost the natural-
ness and freshness of her
native character. Her life
is a constant protest
against pessimism. On
the back of a photograph
given this magazine she
wrote, “Му advice to most
people із, 'don't take life
too seriously.' ''

This remarkable

ents. During the past seventeen years I have sung the great róles of
Wagner,—no one more so than myself,—and my voice, to-day, is better
than it ever was before.

But, I ask, will a tender plant endure and thrive in ground that
nature has not meant for it? Certainly not. So, also, has nature put
bounds to the voice, and he or she who fails to recognize those bounda-
ries must suffer forit. Мо voice that is founded on proper principles and
that is possessed by one who really “knows how to sing" need fear
injury within its proper limits, be the composer Wagner or anybody else.

I have frequently been asked to undertake one or another of the
soprano rôles, and have invariably refused. Brunhild, in “ Die Walküre”
is а róle thoroughly within my range. So, also, are Isolde and many of
the other Wagnerian soprano parts. But to sing them constantly would
mean the loss of my voice, without any doubt.

Another example of the point Iam making is Aloysiz Krebs-Michalesi,
a contemporary of Schróder-Devrient, who was my instructor and coach,
and who sang to her seventieth year to the wonder of everyone. Marianna
Brandt is another. She is still singing, to-day, and teaching. These
artists prove that a good school and earnest, honest purpose and a true
appreciation of art maintain the voice and permit it to flourish and
its possessor to prosper.

Together with the instruction in singing, I should require a careful
schooling in dramatic work, step by step, gradually and thoroughly,
under the guidance of a professional actor. I should seek my first
engagement at a small theater and begin with the smallest róles, though
it might be only to light a lamp or place a chair upon the stage, and I
should always remember that I was treading on sacred ground.

I have never lost sight of the fact that the stage is sacred ground,
although I am now appearing in “light opera," and the disappointments
are more numerous than on the grand opera stage, while good support
is a rare thing and much is expected of the “star.” Still this is beside
the point. I must say, however, that, even in light opera in this country,
higher art might be fostered if there were less indolence and more regard
for the public, and if the public would support more faithfully true artists,
and refuse to countenance mediocre and unworthy performances.

Тһе first essential to success іп ап operatic career is а willingness to
work; great energy and will power are absolutely necessary.

Work, and the opportunity will come, sooner or later,
especially if one is prepared always. It was after six long,
weary years of waiting that my opportunity came at last. It
was the true prima donna airs of a colleague that gave me my
opportunity. She had thought to embarrass the management
by refusing to go on as Fides in “Le Prophète,” and, later,
as Carmen. The former réle I was compelled to get ready
by reviewing my previous schooling, without rest or sleep
from Friday morning until Sunday evening,— without any re-
hearsal, and with a Saturday performance of my own.

UST now the Ámerican people are receiving some painful lessons
in practical ethics," said President Nicholas Murray Butler, in
his opening address at Columbia University this year. “They аге
having brought home to them, with severe emphasis, the distinction
between character and reputation Of late we have been
watching reputations melt away like snow before the sun.
Put bluntly, the situation which confronts the American people to-day
is due to the lack of moral principle.”

President Roosevelt says: "No crime calls for sterner reprobation
than that of the corruptionist in public life. Freedom is not a gift
that will tarry long in the hands of the dishonest, or of those so foolish
as to tolerate dishoriesty im their public servants.” — -

Never before in the history of our country have the American
people received a greater shock to their faith in human nature than
during the last year, by the exposure of the diabolical methods practised
by men in high places upon an admiring and unsuspecting people.

Every little while the public press throws X-rays upon the charac-
ters of men who have long stood high and spotless in the public eye,
and have been looked up to as models of manhood, men of honorable
achievement—revealing great ugly stains of dishonor, which, like the
blood spot on Lady Macbeth’s hands, all the oceans of the globe can
not wash out.

A tiny flaw sometimes cuts the value of an. otherwise thousand-
dollar diamond down to fifty dollars orless. "Тһе defect is not noticeable
to the average person. It is only the fatal magnifying glass that will
detect it, and yet its presence is a perpetual menace to the commercial
value of the stone.

А great many human diamonds which, a little while ago, were
thought to be flawless brilliants of the first water, and which dazzled
the financial and social world, when the microscope of official scrutiny
was turned upon them, were found to contain great ugly flaws.

А United States senator, seventy years of age, was recently sen-
tenced to serve a term in prison, besides paying a fine, for his connection
with great land frauds. Still another senator and several representa-
tives have been indicted for crooked work in connection with their exalted

itions. Congressmen have been convicted of land frauds and army
officers of peculation. The ees of post-office contracts and the
notorious "cotton statistics leak," not long ago, showed that minor
officials had sold themselves to manufacturers and Wall Street brokers.

Think of the men at the head of great public trusts juggling with sacred
funds, not only taking for themselves, from the hard-earned savings of
the poor, salaries two or three times as great as that of the President
of the United States, but also giving enormous salaries to a large number
of their relatives out of these same sacred funds of those who have strug-
gled for years to make possible a better condition for those who should
survive them. Think of their paying out hundreds of thousands of
dollars for secret services of a suspicious nature, and using trust funds
to effect stock manipulations for private gain.

Was there ever before such a shameful story spread before Ameri-
cans? Were people ever before so mercilessly betrayed by men they
looked up to, admired, and implicitly trusted? Never before has there
been such colossal stealing carried on so brazenly and openly by men
in high positions.

Some of these men, when they appeared in public a year ago, were
applauded to the echo. Wherever they went they were followed by
admiring crowds. Some months ago Í saw one of them, a man who has
been for many years a great public favorite, at a reception in the White
House. He was pointed out by guests, and seemed to attract almost as
much attention as the President himself. People seemed to regard it
as a great honor to be introduced to him. Now he would hardly dare
to appear before an audience for fear of being hissed.

What a humiliation for those whose names have been household
words for a quarter of a century or more to be asked to withdraw from
trusteeships or directorships in institutions which perhaps worked for
years to secure them on account of their great influence and high repu-
tations.

What is there left worth living for when а man has lost the finest,
the most sacred thing in him, and when he has forfeited the confidence
and respect of his fellow men? Is there any quality which inheres in
dollars that can compensate for such a loss? Is there anything which
ought to be held more precious than honor or more sacred than the
esteem and confidence of friends and acquaintances?

Тһе man who has nothing which he holds dearer than money or
some material advantage is nota man. The brute has not been educated
out of him. The abler а man and the more money he has, the more
we despise him if he has gotten that money dishonestly, because of the
tremendous contrast between what he has done and what he might
have done.

What the world demands of you, whatever your career, whether
you make money or lose it, whether you are rich or poor, is that you be
a man. It is the man that gives value to achievement. You can not

afford success with a flaw in it. You can not afford to have people say
of you, “Mr. Blank has made money, but there is a stain on it. It is
smirched. It has cost him too much. He exchanged his manhood for it.”

Every human being has it within his power to keep the founda-
tion under him—his manhood,—absolutely secure under all circumstances
Nothing can shake that but himself. The citadel can never be taken
until he himself surrenders the keys. Calumny, detraction, slander,
or monetary failure can not touch this sacred thing.

Every man, whether in private or public life, should so carry him-
self before the world that he will show in his very face and manner
that there is something within, him not for sale,—something so sacred
that he would regard the slightest attempt to debauch it as an unpar-
donable insult.’ He should so carry himself that no one would even
dare to suggest that he could be bought or bribed.

Who was so corrupt during the Civil War that he would have dared
to attempt to bribe Abraham Lincoln? There was something in that
face that would have cowed the hardest character. Who would be
bold enough to presume to bribe our present President?

Many a one has failed because he was not a man before he was &
merchant, or a lawyer, or a manufacturer, or a statesman,—because
character was not the dominating influence in his life. If you are not
a man first,—if there is not a man behind your book, behind your ser-
mon, behind your law brief, or your business transaction,—if you are
not larger than the money you make, the world will expose and despise
your pretense and discount your success; history will cover up your

memory no matter how much money you may leave.

That is the lesson of the startling disclosures of late. These men
whose reputations have melted away so rapidly,—men who have had
such a drop in the public regard,—were not real men to start with.
There were flaws in their character foundations, and the superstructures
of their achievement have fallen before the flood of public indignation.
Those criminals in high places are beginning to realize that no smartness,
brilliancy, genius, scheming, long-headed cunning, bluffing, or pretense
can take the place of manhood or be a substitute for personal integrity.

There are men in New York, to-day, whose names have been a
power, who would give every dollar they have for a clean record,—if
they could wipe off all their underhanded, questionable methods from
the slate and start anew; but there is no way to buy a good name. It
is above riches, and beyond the price of rubies.

How many men there are, to-day, in high positions who are in per-
petual terror lest something should happen to expose the real facts of
their lives,—something which would pierce their masks and reveal them
in their true light. How must a man feel who is conscious that he is
walking all the time on the thin crust of a volcano which is liable to open
at any moment and swallow him?

"There is one thing no money or influence can buy; that is the heart's
approval of a wrong deed or a questionable transaction. It will be bob-
bing up all along the future to remind you of your theft, of your dis-
honesty, or of your unfair advantage. It will take the edge off your
enjoyment. It will appear, like Banquo’s ghost, at every feast to which
you sit down.

Methinks that some of the men who have been exposed recently
must have had strange dreams and horrid nightmares during then
sleep, when the ghosts of the poor people whom they have wronged
appeared to them and haunted their rest. Methinks they must have
had strange visions as these sacred dollars intended for widows and
orphans slipped through their fingers for luxuries and amusements,—
dollars which had been wrung out of the lives of those who trusted them.

What a pitiable picture those great financial giants made unde:
investigation in courts of inquiry, squirming, ducking, dodging, and
resorting to all sorts of ingenuity to avoid telling the exact truth, —to
keep from uncovering their tracks or exposing their crooked methods.

No man has a right to put himself in a position where һе has te
cover up anything or where he must be afraid of the truth. Every шар
should live so that he can hold up his head, look his kind in the face,
without wincing, and defy the world.

À man went to President Roosevelt, before the last presidential
election, and told him that someone had unearthed a letter of his which
would be extremely damaging to his canvass were it made public, and
that, with a little diplomacy, the damaging part of the letter could be
suppressed. After listening to the man, the great President said, “1
have never written a letter which I am afraid to have published. Let
them print the letter, the whole of it. I have nothing to conceal 1
am not afraid to face anything I have ever done.”

How many of our public men dare take that attitude?

Is n't it a disgrace to this fair land that there are men in our senate
and house of representatives and in almost every legislature whose votes
and influence can be bought, and upon whose honor there is a price?

If there is anything which a man in a responsible position ought
to prize, it is the esteem of the young men who look up to him as their

HOW COLEMAN GOT HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

By JAMES B. CONNOLLY

Author of “ The Deep Sea's Toll "

Illustrated by

THE little man had come down to the dock, that morning, in an ugly

humor. Once in a great while—their friends well knew it,—he
and Maggie had to have a falling out. Two souls were they that dearly
loved an argument, meaning no harm thereby ,—merely true fighting blood
they had, instinctively seeking to keep itself in trim.

Now a real man and a true woman, when both are quick-tempered
and vigorous, sometimes say things to each other; more particularly
the woman, impelled by the force of hereditary ages to ease the strain
that way. Maggie could lightly die for her husband, but to give up
the last word!—Mother in Heaven, was a woman a woman, or was she
a wax figure?

Pouted like a baby did Coleman and nursed his sensitive soul and
took another drink before sailing; and by that the barkeeper, an emeritus
professor in human nature, knew that something had gone wrong and
advised a friend who sailed оп the * Maggie" to stay ashore that trip.

“Апа why stay ashore this trip, апу more than any other?” natu-

rally inquired the friend, who happened to be Eddie Bligh.

“ Never mind why. Somebody or something ЛІ ketch the devil, I’m
telling you.” Further than that he would not explain. His secrets
were professional, possibly, or perhaps he knew that, if he should say any-
thing, somebody would surely pass it along to Captain Joyce; and then—
he saw the picture clearly,—no fear of the police or his own superior bulk
would prevent the little man from reaching across the bar and dragging
him around the sanded floor by the ears.

“Put out,” said Captain Joyce, and took note of the weather,—a cold
day and a gale blowing. “Let ye hoist the jibs,”—and he leaped from
the wharf to the deck of his vessel without so much as putting hand to
the rigging on the way. “Апа what's wrong with уои?” he demanded
of big Jerry Connors, all flying, Ше a man who fears he ЛІ never catch
up with his work again.

“There it is," exploded Coleman. “We pay a man two dollars and
a half to watch this vessel of a night, and he goes up the street and yarns,
when ’t is the vessel he should be lookin’ after. - But we can 't be wait-
ing at the dock because a watchman do n't tend to his business. Let
ye loose yer fores']. We'll stop his wages."

“And how 'll we know her course by it?”

“Соогве, is it? Do y’ need to know the coorse goin’ down the
harbor?"

“But when we ’re clear of the harbor?"

' “Wait till we "те clear. I'll lay her coorse, then."

This he did. He shot her through Hypocrite Channel, she drawing
fifteen feet, at low tide; and then, with a hand to the wind and an eye
to the compass, he asked, “Who says this compass is n't all right?—
the wind 's nor'west, that 's sure, and there it is."

“Оһ, it's all right now, but wait a minute and see it hop three or
four points.”

"Sure, and won't it hop back again? And what harm so long's
we ЛІ be able to see Cape Cod goin’ by? In this breeze ’t will be easy
enough after that,—a child could handle her,—run yer mainsheet to the
knot and let her go,—and heave the lead when ye 're not quite sure."

This was how the “Maggie” made a great run of it to Georges,—to the
North Shoal before the December gale,—and then, sheets in and all
she wanted, tearing down to her old favorite spot as if she knew the
way, which Coleman always maintained she did. “Sure, and she does.
P'int her the way ye want her to go in the beginning, then let her be,
and she 'll go the rest of the way herself."

But after they were on the grounds it was five days before they
could put a dory over the side, which meant that it was fairly rough, for
whoever sailed with Coleman Joyce learned to quail before no small spats
of seas. Тһеп came a chance for one two-tub set, after which there
were four days more of laying-to, this time for a northeaster, with snow
to smother them. Four days more, then, of a northwester, during which
the icc made as fast as they could chop it, —which was n't a matter of
much concern so long as there was time to chop it. Winter fishing calls
for chopping ice pretty regularly.

Tough weather it was, but the mood of it beautifully suited Coleman,
still pouting and still nursing his wrath. “Ice!” he burst out,—'' what
the divil ’s a little ice? Some of ye talk as if a little ice on the deck was all
in the world to trouble a man."

“And what's the matter with himself?” inquired one after another
of the crew. ‘‘ Did y’ ever know him this way before, Jerry?”

“Ihave. Leave him be. Once ina very great while he 's this way.
No harm! We ’ll ketch the divil for a few days and then 't will be over
with, and he sweet as a laughing child."

Sixteen days out they were and a beautiful day it was, such a day as

comes even to the storm-tossed
Georges in winter, when the ““ Hia-
watha" rounded to under the
“ Maggie's" quarter. То wind-
ward at the time and stretched out
in a five-mile string, all tossing
gently on the wonderful sea, were
the little dories of the '* Maggie,"
with the nearest dory so handy
that the little man could see the
changing expression on the face
of Jerry Connors when he hauled
in the fish. A fine haddock came,
and Jerry looked pleased; a fine
cod, and he smiled; a ravenous
dogfish, and he glowered and beat
him testily over the nose with the
gobstick, ere he cast him into the
sea again.

The sea gulls circled and
drooped, the flakes of clouds float-
ed hither and thither, and the sea
rose and fell, and on its low white
crests the little dories gently sank
and lifted.

“ Beau-ti-ful!" murmured Cole-
man; “по man ashore ever sees
the like of this. А beautiful day,
God be praised!" and he looked
the length of the string, picking up
with his keen eyes one dory after
another until he had accounted
for the whole ten, even to Peter
Kane's, all of seven miles away.

At the wheel of the ''Hia-
watha" was Dan Shea. On the
wheelbox of the ''Maggie"' sat
Coleman. Both men, masters of
craft, touched the spokes deli-
cately, with eyes roving aloft or far
about for the signs of wind, or sea, or the men in the riding dories. A
breeze that was like wine to a sick man played over the sea. It wasa
great day altogether, thought Dan Shea, for a little confidential chat.

“Coleman!”

“Well?”

“Do you know what day it is?”

“What day is it?" The little man pondered laboriously,—over-
laboriously, indeed,—so that Dan Shea had to smother a young smile.
“Why, of coorse,—a Chuesday."

“I do n't mean that, and blessed well you know I do n't.
of the month is it?”

“What day is it yerself?—1 'm no callen-der."

“Well, it's the twenty-third. And what 's to-morrow night?”

* What js it, you?”

“Well, it’s Christmas Eve."

“Yes?”

“Yes. Are you goin’ to be home for Christmas?”

“Tf I'm filled up,—maybe. Are you?"

*"Less something happens to-day, I will."

‘Whether you fill up or по?”

“И she was dry as a spar-yard, yes. I would n't miss bein’ home
Christmas for forty loads of fish,—nor would you."

“Тһе divil I would пч. Who 's tellin’ you all that?"

“Oh, I know. Now, Coleman, what's a word spoken in heat?
Man, Maggie could kiss the wet frozen deck under your feet, and little
Dannie "— Shea looked over at his sister's husband ,— "and little Dannie,
I Say,—

Coleman put the wheel down another spoke, took a look at the luff
of his mainsail, and put it up one.

Shea waited. He knew well this sensitive, loving child of a brother-
in-law, with whom there was always the danger of saying the one word
too much. So he waited a bit, and began again his message. “Little
Dannie ran over to the house, the morning I was leavin' for the dock,
and says—'woogh, woogh-h,—’ "

“You ought to take something for that cold, Dan.” The little-man
grinned at his shot.

“And maybe І would,—if 'twas no more than a cold, Coleman.
But Dannie, the tears in his little blue eyes, puts his head in my bosom
and cries, cries, and could n't speak for so long, the poor little creature,
as if ’t was his heart's blood was chokin' him, and says,"—Shea stood
erect and gazed far to leeward. “15 that my dory or yours off to the
wind'ard there, Coleman?"

“Blast whose dory ’t is!—what did he say?”

"What did little Dannie say? Не says, ‘Uncle Dan, if you see
grandpa out on Georges, tell him he never came in to see me before he
went away.’ "

Coleman, wriggling on his box, put the wheel down a spoke, then

another spoke,—one more, and her mainsail
shivered; another, and her reef points began to
beat a tattoo; yet another, and the“ Maggie"
began to back down on the 'Hiawatha;" and
Coleman kept her slowly backing till the two
vessels were so close that to bring them closer
would be dangerous.

Shea, with not so much as a pretense that he
was observing his brother-in-law's maneuvers,
continued. ““Мауһе you were asleep, Dannie,’
Isays,'and your grandpa did n't want to wake
you.’ ‘No, по, no, I war n't, Uncle Dan,’ he
says, ‘and he never did that before. And it's
true for him, Coleman. It’s the first time since
he was old enough for you to set your finger
between his little teeth, or him to put his hand
to your beard and pull it, that you did n't
come around to toss him up and down before
you put out to sea,—and give him change to
put in his little bank. Yes, you've been spoiling
him all his life and then you treat him like he
was a stranger’s child you hated. And he cried
and cried, the poor little creature, and me an
hour late to the dock tryin’ to comfort him.
And he told his mother how he wanted to tell
you he'd sent a letter to Santa Claus to get him
a train of cars,—"

“Oh, the little lad!" Coleman walked to
the rail of the “Maggie” and gazed out on the
eternal ocean,—gazed,and gazed,and gazed,—
and went back and resumed the wheel.

* And Maggie, Dan,—what did Maggie have
to say?"

“ Maggie, Coleman, is my own sister,—and a
woman."

**She 's all that, Dan.
now she's been proving it to me.
wanted a tongue, Dan."

“Nor a heart, Coleman. And she could kiss
the deck under your feet. 'Tell him, if you
see him, Dannie,' she says,—'tell Colie, if you
see him out there on the wild Georges, that he
must n't be minding a word too much in heat.
A woman has her bad days, too, only she can’t
run to sea, maybe, and fight winter storms and
forget her troubles. Tell him,
Dannie, that 't will be the
dreary Christmas without
him,’ ”

Coleman put the wheel up,
and up, and yet up. While
still Dan was in doubt as to
his brother-in-law's inten-
tions the “Maggie” was
around on her heel. She
swept in a short circle and
came tripping under the
“Hiawatha’s” stern. "And
she said that, Dan?”

* As I hope to be buried
ashore, Coleman,—and cried
in her apron when she said
it. ‘Tell Colie,’ she says,—"

Dan waited.—'' Will I re-
port you comin', Coleman?"

Coleman made no answer,
only waved his hand and
bore away. Dan watched
him,saw him hoist his haul-
ing signal to the peak, heard
him hail Jerry Connors in
thenearest dory, and thereat,
his own vessel runningdown
the string, he smiled to the
immortal heavens. “Не?!
soon be himself again. Soon
be himself again, and then—
and then all hell won't stop
him."

When the dories had put
off from the vessel, that
morning, Peter Kane, in
charge of one, thought he
saw a great chance to im-
prove on his instructions.
"Set t« the east'ard," the
skipper had said. Yet Peter

She never

and his dory-mate, in what they considered an
inspired moment, had set to the west'ard,—and
gone far astray. And so,at eleven o'clock that
morning, when,in response to the signalat the
peak, the other nine dories were aboard, there
was no sign of Peter's dory. At high noon the
crew dropped everything and went into the rig-
ging to look for it. During all that afternoon

‘they searched. At dark, when a snowstorm

set in, they were still searching. They kept
the foghorn going, the anxious skipper mean-
while walking the deck like a caged animal.
Suddenly, from out of the snow, and almost
directly under the astonished eyes of a man lean-
ing over the bow, up popped the missing dory.

“Неге they are, skipper!"

"Where? Glory be, where? Thanks be to
Heaven, so it is," 'Then helit into them. Peter's
dory-mate, a Frenchman, was just telling all
hands what a wonderful ear Peter had,—as soon
as he heard the foghorn he knew just where it
came from,—a wonderful ear—

“Апа what kind of an ear did he have, this
morning, when I told him to set to the east'ard?
What kind of an ear, hah? Where is һе?”

Men who have been astray for ten hours in a
dory on a winter's day generally get a. fairly
warm welcome when they come alongside,—
not so much in words as in hearty helpings over
the rail and kindly glances,—but here was the
skipper ready to scalp them, almost; a man,
too, who was famous for the feeling he could
put into a few words at other times. '* God save
you, Dinnie!" or Tommie, or whatever it was,
" but I'm glad to see you again," and with a
look that would warm the heart of a squid. But
now!

"Is it you or me, Peter Kane, is master of
this vessel? Is it you or me, do у’ think, lays
out the work and has to keep track of a string
of ten dories on thick days in winter, is it?
And a storm makin', is it? Here we 've been
laying for hours and now a dead beat agin' a
no'theaster to get off the bank. "T would make
а saint in heaven swear, it would. Go for'ard,
now, and help gripe the do-
ries. Bottom up and into the
hatches with 'em,—double-
gripe 'em so bimeby they
won't be washin' over the
rail. And hurry, then, and
shake out the: reef in the
mains'l.”

To the man at the wheel
he added, ''Jibe her over,
now, and time it is, too,—
but be easy on her till the
fish is dressed, or you'll
have fish and men over the
rail.” То the men dressing
the fish he said, “Hurry,
now, b'ys,—no time for sky-
larkin'" To the forward
watch he commanded,
“Tommie, lad, when next
we tack, do you have a lit-
tle blue eye out for the hand-
liners,—we ЛІ be in the thick
of them by then."

Through the scattered rid-
ing lights of the handlining
fleet the "Maggie" worked
her way, while down in the
cabin the skipper, his wrath
against Peter gradually splut-
tering out, laid himself flat
on the floor and marked out
short courses for the '' Mag-
gie." А forefinger was оп
a much-dreaded spot. “I’m

hurried puffs, then, to keep his pipe from going out,
and went on, “ Nice and handy, yes," and he maneu-
vered the parallels delicately to the west'ard, €:
heavily the while. "If't was workin’ to the north'ar:

the wind was, I could n't, but with it workin' to the
s'uth'ard 't will be safe. А fine notion, that, —to cut a
little corner off the North Shoal!" He climbed up on
deck to consider. “How 'sthe compass actin’, Jerry?"

* She 's not so bad, skipper. Hops once in a while,
but gen’rally points ahead.”

“Yes, it's that way,—all right when the vessel's
close hauled or runnin’. I've been studyin' her the
two weeks past. But, when the wind 's abeam, she 's
the divil. But it won't be abeam till mornin', Jerry.
Solet her go nor' west, for the next three hours."

“Wow !” said Jerry.

* And what are you ‘wowing' about?"

“Ме tooth give a jump.”

“Yer tooth, is it? Yer heart, ye mean,
she 's cuttin' too close?"

“Twenty fathom of water,—and suppose the wind
comes the wrong way?”

* Man alive, have I been thirty-seven winters to
Georges for nothing? "T won't come the wrong way.”

It was as the skipper said. The gale worked to the
southward in increasing volume, and until seven in
the morning they were tearing off the rapid miles of
white water from the easterly bank of the North
Shoal. Came the word, then, for the home course,
“West, nor'west, and kecp her goin’, boy!"

Ye think

The “Maggie” was then a joyful sight for Coleman
or whoever else loved to sce a vessel in a breeze of
wind.

Clear from her knightheads to her taffrail it was
nothing but water racing bv as if the storm devils
were driving it. All her lee dories were buried; and
the lee half of her housc was not merely awash, but
clean buried under it. Where it surged between
house and rail it was a wild torrent throwing up
boiling foam. Could a tall man have gone down into
the lee scuppers of her waist and held his feet, he
would have been up to*his neck іп solid water. To
Есер the rush of water from below, the hatches were
drawn over the forec's'le companionway; but by way
of the binnacle box, [This had, of course, to be left
uncovered.) which, in the “Мар е,” was exactly
amidships, with its under edge more than a foot above
AN a steady stream of water was pouring into the
cabin. i

An hour later, when Peter Kane went on watch,
she was taking the gale fair astern, with her lee rail
buried beyond all the laws of equilibrium and a twenty-
foot belt of white sea flattened out from her side.
Peter had to set the upper board into the cabin com-
panionway, which was well to windward, on this, the
port, tack, of the center of the vessel's deck,—to keep
the flood of water from rushing into the cabin by way
of the companion stairs.

Lashed to the wheel, then, with the clear water, no
mere swash, to his waist, stood Tom Lenoir, better
known as Tom Black, who, from out of his French
patois was trying to find words to fit the airs that were
suggested to him as the water swept up to his body,
then rushed past the wheelbox and away over the
taffrail behind him. From the French coast of
Newfoundland was Tom, and they used to say of him
that, since somebody stove his head in with an ax,
about a year before this, he had never been right.
Peter was sup to be standing watch while Tom
steered, but all that could be seen of Peter was a head
under the fore boom. The rest of him was made fast
to the bow-gripes of the windward dories, where he
considered that he was doing pretty well because of
managing matters so that he was not washed overboard.

Tt isin such hours that these men with poetry in their
souls create hymns which would live on to immortality
were only the men of the conservatories within hearin;
and sufficiently at ease to use their specially-train
faculties. Peter was ridding himself of the storings of
a thousand melancholy nights, and there was a swelling
note in Tom’s chant. A man could have gauged the
rise of the water around their bodies by the height of
the note in their storm songs. “They "те both crazy,”
said onc, poking his head above the cabin hatch for a
moment. “They 'll lose the vessel, усі.” Aloud, one
shouted, “ You wild man from Bonne Bay, why do n't

| you ease off that mainsheet afore you blow it off, or

capsize us, or something?”

“Ease the sheet? Ме? Хо, no, Peter, not me, an’
bimeby have skipper say, if we no get home to-night,
‘ Blast that Frei iiia for heem we mak' a fine
pas-sage. He lose hees nerve an’ ease off the sheet.’
No, no, Peter. Skipper sav, “Кір her going, and I
kippin' her going, by gar!"

"Why, of course we kept swinging her ofi," said
Peter, when, below and his watch done, he was wring-
ing his mitts out by the cabin stove, "but 't was Tom
was making all the noise. Every time she rolled down
he 'd holler, wild-like. Мап, but there 's some water
on her deck now. And her foreshects аге like iron with
the strain on "ет. If ever they go! Blessed lucky
thing, I say, we rove a brand-new foreshect afore we
came out, this trip,—blessed lucky, war n't it, skipper?"

“Yes, Peter, lucky enough. No danger of it parting
and delayin’ us on the way. How 's the compass?"

"Jumpin'-like. One time nor'west and again due
west. Once in a while, though, it makes a crazy leap
to straight no'th and again to south."

" But she 's going along herself?"

" Man, like a message to heaven, if we orly knew
just which way to call it,—west or nor'west."

“Oh, well, we 'll strike an average and call it west,
nor’ west."

Just then arrived one who was soon to go on watch.
He was new to the vessel and to the skipper. Appar-
ently to Peter Kane, but wishing really to get the
skipper's ear, he gave voice to his opinion. “Comin”

. forward now and lookin’ at her, it was scand'lous.

Water on her deck to frighten a man, and gettin’
worse. Worth a man's life, now, to throw his life line
off for a minute. Scand'lous, I call it."

"The skipper, whittling a little model of a fisherman,
eyed him sidewise. “Scand’lous, hah? And what 's
it you fear,—she 'll capsize, eh? Well, have no fear, —
Pun one won't capsize,—the spars 'll come out of her

rst."

“But,” gasped the man, “spars out of her on a lee
shore and a day like this,—where 'd shefetchup? I've
а fam'ly,—wife and children."

"And that's the amazin' thing," exclaimed the
skipper,—''a fam'ly and no hurry to get home! It 's
because I've a wife and children—and grandchildren,
—that I'm drivin’ this one now. Christmas Eve,
man,—surely you ' like to be home for Christmas?
Surely! Well, then, trust to me,—I know the ' Mag-

in your'children's stockings,—yes. And I'll be home
this night and fill little Dannie's stocking. But I

the dock leadin' his little grandson by the hand, stuffing
his little fist full of pennies and his pockets full of
candy, you 'd say there never was a more harmless man
born. Yes, sir, the most harmless man alive, you 'd
say; but Lord help the nervous man who thinks so and
then ships with him!"

In the swash of water pouring through the binnacle
box various small articles were floating about the floor,
which nobody minded much until Eddie Bligh, return-
ing from the forec's'le, let in а hogshead or more of
loose water before he could draw the slide.

" Man alive, have n't we enough water already?"

"Water? Where? Неге? Sure, you're fine and
dry here. It's for'ard y' ought to be. Some water
there,—a steady stream сотіп” down by the pawl-post,
another stream by the stove, and a ton of water by way
of the hatch every time anybody goes on deck, and
her wind'ard planks opening up under the strain of
the sail on her so that the sea 15 comin' through her and
driving everybody out of the bunks on that side."

“And a few loose drops on the floor, I s'pose?""

"Oh, no more than up to your knees in it, —evcry
body wearin’ rubber boots."

Ап extra heavy surge came through the binnacle
box, and Eddie, standing carelessly beneath, whooped
with the suddenness of it and was appeased only by
the sight of Jerry chasing across the cabin after his
slipshods, which had floated from the windward lockers
over to the lee lockers, where they filled and sank.
“Stand over by the stove, Eddie, and dry yourself,”
said Peter, who had been washed out of his own after
lee bunk, hours ago, and Eddie came to windward,
which brought him directly under the broken skylight.
She gave а real good roll and a barrel or so of cold sea
water landed on Eddie's back. Не hopped about
and swore, it was again so sudden, but everybody else
laughed prodigiously,

They had to cut up to forget their discomfort. Those
who owned windward bunks were modcrately happy,
for they were fairly dry and had only to brace them-
selves and lie there. All others caught it. Various
schemes were devised to stay in one spot. Peter Kane,
frena his back in the corner of the cabin where

ocker and bulkhead met, with a becket for his feet,
hung fast for five minutes, to his glory. Most of them
braced their backs square to the windward lockers and
thrust their feet straight out on the floor, with covers
removed from the lockers, elbows hooked down inside,
and so made out pretty well. But the floor of the cabin
was a steep jumping place! Sometimes the vessel
would sizzle along beautifully for perhaps two minutes
and everybody would relax, when whoop-p! a
sea would get under her and up she 'd jump, and down
she'd roll, and away would go the sitters, skidding
beautifully across the cabin floor, while those standing
would be shot flving down and across, yelling as they
went and slapping resoundingly thc bare boards with
their palms as they fetched up suddenly on the other
side. At such times the snug gentlemen in the wind-
ward bunks would laugh uproariouslv, and sav de-
lightfully funny but unappreciated things between
their shrieks of glee.

Тһе skipper, returning from the forec's'le, at once
got out his long sharp knife and began to whet it on

about for'ard, skipper?"

“Оһ, one thing and another,—the cook complainin'
of broken mugs, but the gang talkin' of Christmas and
sail-carrvin', mostly. "There's two wild men in upper
bunks and 't is comical to see them,—one in the top
peak bunk and the other in the top after bunk,—and
with the noise of the water rushin' under her bows
they have to howl like banshees to make themselves
heard. Talkin’ about sail-carryin’ they were. ‘I
was with this one,’ says the one, ‘when she made such
a passage,’ and ‘I was with that one,’ says the other,
‘when she made such a passage.’

"'Sail-carryin'?" resumed the skipper, after a pause,
and he cast an eye about as if in search of something,
—"sail-carryin'! half of 'em do n't know what it is."

“You ‘ve carried some sail, yourself, in your time,
skipper?”

"Well, I don't know. Let a man begin to talk of
what sail he 's carried and he begins to boast, and, sure
as fate, something happens. But I suppose, if I was
put to it, I'd carry with the next. But I never was

ut to it; though, in thirty-seven winters from Georges,

've vet to heave-to makin' a , though as to
that, again, maybe it never came rough enough to give
cause to heave-to; and yet, in thirty-seven winters, a
man sees some blue times comin' home from Georges.
Yes, sir,"—he cast anxious eyes about the cabin floor,
—‘yes, sir, in thirty-seven—where in the divil's that
little boat? Did none of уе have an eye to it while I
was for'ard? I left it dryin' by the stove,—the little
boat I was makin' for Dannie's stockin', to-night. Did
none of ye see it?”

“That little block of wood, skipper? Тһе time my
slipshods went floatin’ off I saw that little block of
wood go floatin' off toward your room, skipper."

And so they found it sailing around in the skipper's
sete Grief was writ in the skipper’s face as he
held it up.

“Look, now, soakin’ wet,—the little boat I thought
to have ready by the time we got in. Why, Dannie 'd
set morc store by one little boat I'd make him than a
whole fleet of them queer-painted traps they sell in the
shops. Yes, indeed," and dolefully he regarded the
unwhittleable block of wood. Why, I would n't—
Lord in heaven!"

They all felt the terrible shock. Ав suddenly as a
sea could overtake her and strike, it came. From out of
a windward bunk came Oscar Neilsen, hurled through
space, touching nothing till his side struck the top of
the stove. Down she went,—quick as that, and just
as quickly as that the little skipper took his two strides
to the companionway. With one yank of his hand the
usually stubborn slide was driven back. "Tons of water
came in as he went out, At one glance he had the
situation measured. Не sprang onto the house and
onto the rail, the only part of her that was out of water
aft, and ran along the high rail like a cat to the rigging.
One instant he poised there for balance and then leaped
for the saddle of the mainmast. Then he sprang along
the boom and out to where the great sail lay bellied
іп the water. Cut-t! slash-h! cut-t!—with the knife
he had Бесп whetting for little Dannie's boat. It was
the heaviest of canvas and soaked in brine, but the little
man's nervous arm made waxed paper of it.

She was fairly hove down, her spars all but flat out
on the water. They watched her, a dozen men now
on deck, to see if she would settle, and, in the end,
turn bottom up. 'That was what it might mean.
Because the heavy seas pounded her as she lay, that
danger was probable. Many vessels would have sunk
then and there. Even some fishermen would have gone
down in a few minutes. But all that the skipper had
boasted of the “Марріс” seemed to be in the way of

roof.
p “Like an intelligent horse that is thrown, she is
trying to rise. Look at her! She ‘ll come out of it all
right," said Coleman, but he watched her anxiously,
nevertheless. "

Gradually she came up, the skipper eying her all the
time, "Beau-ti-ful! Beau-ti-ful!" he murmured.

After she righted herself, they furled the hacked
mainsail, put the main boom in the chock, and got out
the eel | Soft-spoken, calm-eyed men were these,
the little skipper in the van, who balanced themselves
in her stern, crawled out on her footropes, and, while
the hig scas bade fair to overpower them, swiftly set
things to rights.

Back in the cabin again the skipper took note of the
time and sighed. “Еуе-аһ, a good hour lost! Who
was atthe wheel? Fred? Sure, and he must ’ve been
careless to get her caught like that. But we'll make
it, vet, Glory be—a fair wind, and we І make it yet!”

Оп her way again the “ Maggie," now with the huge
mainsail off her, would have waltzed down the line like
а lady were it not that the wind increased. It was
not cnough that it blew a living gale in the morning,
but it must come a tornado now. Even the skipper
thought it time to look after things above, but hardly
more than а look. ‘Just a bit of the foreshcct to take
іп, b'vs, and she "1 be all right."

Up they climbed on deck and gathered in groups
till the helmsman would case her, Looking out on
the waters, then, the vessel seemed like something rush-
ing about the base of great, shifting hills,—dirty-green,
white-trimmed, over-curling hills of water, hill suc-
eveding hill, with the presumptuous little vessel dodging
There was Jimmie Curran,

“And what are they talking

who, with Frenchie and Peter Kane, was standin
on the break as the ship was brought into the wind.
There came a little sea, nothing to notice. To Jimmie
it looked no bigger than a dory on the side of the moun-
tain of water off which it broke. “That’s not going
to bother anybody here," was Jimmie's mental com-
ment. But even old fishermen are fooled, sometimes.
Frenchie and Peter Kane were safe enough,—handy
to the dory tackle were they when it struck,—but
Jimmie went floating down to leeward. He was buried
init. As he rolled over and over in it he put out his
arms to grab something. He did grab something.
Jerry Connors it was, also overturned by the same
deceptive little sca. “Well, if I go I get a chum,"
murmured Jimmie. As it turned out Jimmie did not
go that time, for Jerry, the able man, caught hold of
the dory-gripes on the lee side and clung to them des-

rately, and from there the others, when they had done
aughing, rescued them.

e "Maggie" could not go along in that breeze
without various things happening. Jerry, having
returned to the cabin, had not done putting salve to
his lip, which, he averred, had been split bv Curran's
fist in the mix-up on deck, when a great scurry of
boot heels was heard overhead, and a great yelling.
А moment later, Fred Jones, the forward watch, slid
back the cabin hatch and leaped into the companion-
way, all in one motion, as it were, and yelling at the
same time, “Неге comes the jeesliest sea,—clear white
and high as the masthead!" and to his mate at the
wheel, “Hang on, Ed.,—hang оп!”--һеге he drew the
hatch.

“Аус, hang on, Eddie,—hang on, Eddie!" yelled
the cabin gang, bracing themselves for the shock, and
already shrieking with glee to think of Eddie at the
wheel watching the big sea coming on.

It came and hit the side of the vessel such a clip as
а fast-traveling mountain of water can, Over rolled
the “Maggie.” Men in the windward bunks looked
down perpendicularly at the lee bunks. “No stove
for me this time," piped Oscar, and he spread himself
across his mattress as a cat, with spreading claws,
clings to a window grating from which she fears to be
torn. Down, down!—‘ Mother о” God, will she never
stop?” exclaimed Curran; but a deluge of water poured
through a slit in the hatch,—" Jones, you omadhoun,—
Jones, you scallawag, the curse of Crom'll on you!
why did n't you draw that hatch?” yelled half a dozen
others.

She hung for a time in the balance, and then—at
such times a few seconds is a long time,—up she came
and threw everybody the other way. Jones jumped
on deck again. Instantly he broke into a roar, and
the others crowded after him. They had to laugh,
too, for there was Eddie spread across the mainboom,
where һе had been washed by the sea. Standing on
deck the boom must have been more than a foot above
his head, which meant that it must have been a good
able sea to cast him there.

Eddie was hauled down and stood on his feet. “Апа
а blessed. lucky thing you had a good stout life line
around you, Eddie, boy," commented one of the
rescuers.

“That 's all right,—no harm done,—but who were
the crazy fools who hollered out, ‘Hang on, Eddie,—
hang on!’ What did у’ think?—1 was going to jump
overboard? ‘Hang on!’—W-ugh! I'll be coughin’
up salt fora week. Where’s the skipper,—gone below?

hen blast this carryin’ sail, Isay! That barkeeper was
right when he told me to stay ashore this trip. Lord,
I'll bet there war n't a foot of her wind'ard rail out of
water when she rolled down."

When Eddie came off watch he reported it thicker
than ever above, so thick a man could n't see the length
of the vessel ahead. “Апа I'm thinkin’, skipper, we
ought to be gettin' handy to Cape Cod."

“Not yet awhile. But you 're the third man to hint
at that, and, Lord knows, I do n't want the name of a
reckless man; so, if it will ease ye any, you might tell
the watch to heave her to and sound,—but don’t
waste any time at it. But I "Il tell you, afore you go,
you ll find no bottom."

When they came down and reported no bottom, the
skipper only said, " Bide by me and ІЛІ tell ye when it
МІ be time to sound.” This he did when, three quarters
of an hour later, he hailed out: “Now let ye heave the
lead and ye 'll get seventy fathom and gray sand, and
уелі find Cape Cod Light, if it's clear,—which it is n't,
ye tell me,—'ll be bearing three miles south by west."

They found the predicted depth and bottom, but no
sight of the light, it was so thick. “And what'll we
do now, skipper,—keep her goin' as she із?”

“How 's the compass actin'?"'

“Still jumpin’,—just like the weather-vane atop of a
fire-engine house on a squallv day."

“That so?" He left his bunk, stuck his head out of
the companionway, took a sniff, then another, and then
said: “'T is sou’ sou'west,—this breeze. Keep it
fair abeam as you can and let her go,—that 'll be west,
nor'west,—and at five o'clock, ye let her alone, and
nothing gets in her way, she'll poke Minot's Light
with the end of her bowsprit."

Below he came, then, with a fresh light in his cves.
“Cape Cod, eh? Getting near, getting near,""—and
he began to hum lively little jigs to himself, particu-
larly those wherein, to interpret them properly, you
want to take a little boy on your knee and jog him
merrily up and down, Up on deck, about that time,

the wind was of such force that the men on watch were
unable to face it, and “Will he ease her, d' y' think, if
we speak to him?" one was asking of another.

u Ease her? Him? Did n'ty' see him, and hear
him, when you came up?”

'"'How many miles to Dublin town?"
"Threescorc and ten, sir.'
* Will I be there by candlelight?'
“Yes, and back again, sir.' "

“Will he ease her? Не 'll welt hell out of her now,—
that 's what he'll do. He's in the humor to give the
first stranger he meets hís bank book, or the shirt off
his back to his worst enemy; but take a square inch
of canvas off her,—he would n't do it for his hope of
heaven.”

Coming across the bay, and it yet blowing so hard
that the men on watch could n't bear to look to wind-
ward,—just the drops of water blowing off the tops of
the seas cut their eyeballs, and it was so thick that the
man at the wheel could not see his mate between the
dories. Still the word was, “Keep her goin'!” The
watch, peering into the wild gloom, only prayed that
nothing would get in her way.

. Nothing did get in the way. The number of

Minot's Ledge flashed out almost to the tick of 5.35,

just as the wonderful little man had predicted, which

the crew took as a matter of course. Could it come

any other way? They followed their wonderful

skipper on deck to prepare for the short cuts up the
rbor.

“Will I be there by candlelight?"—he was in rare
humor as he shot for the Narrows, that Christmas Eve.
No lonesome Christmas dinner on Georges, this trip!
No,sir. But they were not home yet. ГЕ entering
the Narrows they were, when the wind jumped, as

uickly as в man may twirl his thumb, to northwest,—
ead in their teeth. Тһе skipper swore softly to him-
self. A northwest gale, and of hurricane strength!
Well, they had to meet it, and he went forward to pick
a road for her in the dark.

Lying flat out on the knighthcads he gave his orders
to the bunch of men in the waist, who in turn passed
them on to tlie wheel, where now were two теп. “Hard
8-lee!"—across the shriek of a gale so loud that the
gang in the waist had to roar in unison to make it carry
to where the helmsmen were tugging to keep her from
running amuck.

Тһе harbor was crowded with outward-bound craft,
held up by the gale. Тһе sight of them, cold-bloodedly
preparing to go to sea the day before Christmas, pro-
voked some of the crew to expressions of the deepest
disgust, “Тһе heathens! they 'll make their money if
they һауе to crucify Christ over again.”

“But they have their schedules to make.”

“Well, who makes the schedules that makes vessels
sail the day before Christmas?— who but men who care
more for a dollar than a hundred Christmas Days?"

“Hard-a-lee!” roared the skipper, and across she
shot till her bowsprit was all but into the dark side of
some kind of craft at anchor,—and again, 'Hard-a-
leel"—and yet again, just as all began to think she
was going to pile up on the rocks оп the other side ùf
the channel. ‘ Hard-a-lee!"—now for a big collier,—
" Hard-a-lec!’’—now an ocean liner, —'' Hard-a-lee!"—
a tramp with swinging stern, so close that men on her
deck hailed out profane protests. “Oh, wait till
you're hit," hurled back the “Maggie's” crew, as
round she came, and off on the other tack she shot.
* Hard-a-lee! Hard-a-lee!"—the skipper flat out on
the knightheads, the gang in the waist, and the two
straining men at the wheel, and the “ Maggie” shooting
from one side to the other of the narrow channel in the
blackness of the night.

She was through the worst of it at last, and no sooner
through than the squalls ceased, the wind let down,
and the stars came out. “Now, would n't that kill you?"
exploded the gang. “When you've won out, every-
thing comes your way!"

Through the inner harbor she tacked,—the inner
harbor that was ever crowded; but 't was a chance for
a vessel that could sail and was handled right, and both
were true of the '* Maggie," now well loosened after her
passage. She was yet awaking some little discussions,
as she picked her way through the inner harbor.
Again and again she seemed about to board some craft
on the road; but always, before it was too late, she slid
by or went off on her heel. The more wrathful the
ejaculations, the sweeter the skipper smiled. With
every word he was nearing home, and, besides, he was
at the wheel himself, now, and the kind of enjoyment
that little boys get out of sailing toy yachts across frog
ponds was his in sailing the " Maggie" through the
overcrowded harbor.

He brought her to the dock himself, not lowering a
sail until he was almost into the slip, nor letting go the
wheel until he had given the last shoot that sent her all
but up Atlantic Avenue, that would have sent thc end
of her bowsprit through the rear of an ovster-dcaler's
shack at the head of the slip only for the active men
that leaped flying aboard the nearest of thc vessels and
checked her speed with quick-hitched lines. It was the
kind of performance not often scen in these days of
cheap tows, and nobody to see it then but the watchman.
And he, when he had verified the vessel, took no further
note of it beyond, “Coleman down to a trys'l!"
—and casually, a moment later, to Peter Kane—"' Must
've been blowin' some outside!"

“So it was; but no trvs'l," indignantly returned

SUCCESS MAGAZINE

Peter, “опіу we busted our mains'l,”

After she was docked, Coleman only stopped lon
enough on the “Maggie” to make an examination o
Nielsen, who had convinced himself during the day
that some ribs had been broken the time he was thrown
from his bunk and laid across the stove. “Look,
skipper, she’s all black and blue,"—and he showed
his bared side in proof. So he was, poor man! but not
too much sympathy did the little man give him. “ Just
bein' black and blue don't mean they 're broken.
Man, I've been that way forty times. Put on your
shirt and go home and stuff your grandchildren's
stockin's."'

““Gran'children, skipper. Why, I haf no gran'-
children,—not efen chil n." к

“You poor, unfortunate creature! Апа what matter
how your ribs are, then? Lock the cabin when you
tnd answered Coleman, and he hurried onto the

ock.

Up on the street he boarded the first red trolley car
going his way, and, knowing he had a half-hour's ride

ore him, dropped into a corner seat and tried to act
the patient man. But the snow lay on the ground,
and riding was slow work, and, absent-mindedly, he
took his pipe from his coat pocket. Only when the
conductor fixed on him a glittering eye did he bethink
himself and put it back. The car turned one corner,
turned another corner, made a long straight run of it,
and was about to shoot around a third corner, when
à wagon butted in on the track, and, the rails being
slippery under the fresh snow, there was a collision.
It was not a violent shock, —no more than to throw
most of the passengers from their seats. Coleman
held his, —it seemed as natural as a heaving deck, but
the old lady across the way bounced into his lap.
Coleman set her back on the cushions, “Му soul!"
she piped, ‘‘who’d ever think you was so strong?
But ain't it dangerous traveling on these 'lectric сагз!”

“Terrible dangerous, ma'am," agreed Coleman,
and, that being his corner, he got up to get off.

“T can't say I blame you, nowise," called the old
lady, as he went out the door, — the dangers of travel-
ing, these times!"

Coleman took himself to a toy store on a broad,
lighted street. He'd had the place in his eye for
weeks. Тһе girl behind the counter seemed rather
to like his foots, “Something for the children?" she
insinuated. “Wheelbarrows, letter blocks, gas balls,
skates, sled—"

“A train of cars, first, —a fine long train with smoke
all ready to come out the ingine, if you have 'em that
way."

“Well, not quite that way, but here 's one can be
made to imitate steam."

“That the best?"

“Well, here's one a little more expensive."

“Тһе best, is it?”

“The best we've got in stock"—she looked doubt-
fully at the unshaven little man,—"'is sixteen dollars."

“That °з what I want, and give me а wheelbarrow,
and a sled, and a gss balloon,—a blue one,—a pair of
skates,—a little boy's size,—four years old but big asa
boy of six. I dunno could he learn to skate at his age,
but the little divil he'll try. And a football.” e
surve the shelves. “Have ye anny little boats?
That? M-m,—I don't believe much in a sloop rig,
myself, but maybe Dannie ЛІ like it, and that one won't
be too big for a bath tub,—if he do n't drive her too
hard. I had a fine little boat all but whittled for him,
comin' home, but it got so wet—fine soft pine it was,
too,—that it would n't cut anny more,—a bit wet,
d' v ее?”

“Ina cad I sce,—the water splashed up?”

“That’s it,—and wet me toes,"—the sly smile of
Coleman!
“Too bad!" То herself she said, “Such a simple

тап!” and to Coleman, "Here's your change, sir:
twenty-three, forty, out of twenty-five, —one, sixty.”

course, for home. “Glory be, no shoals to bother!"

He crept up the back stairs, across the porch, and
through the outer door. The inner door was closed,
but unbolted. Through that, softly, and across the
kitchen floor vet more softly came the voice that had
mellowed thirty years of life for him.

Another spoke,—a child's voice.

"Dannie!" and he halted no longer, but strode
down the hall. In the room they heard the ste

It was Maggie who broke the silence, at last. “And
you hurried home, Colie?”

“Oh, T jogged her a bit."

“But Dan got in at five o’clock, three hours before
you.”

“And left ten hours ahead, and did n't have to beat
up the channel."

" No?" ;

“Yes. That foolish man, Peter Kane, had to go
astray.”

"Small wonder!—he never had too much sense.
Then you drove her, Colie?"

Coleman smiled after the smoke he blew to the ceiling.
“A little, dear."

“For me, Colie,—for an old woman like—”

“Old, is it? And how old, now? Fifty-two?
Arrah, no! On my soul, Maggie, but if you did n't
say it yourself, or if it were n't in little Dannie to prove

When Coleman smiled like that, the light of the

why, no mere Adonis had ever a shadow of his charm,—
Maggie fell into his arms.

“Temper, Maggie? Sure, and I'd not like you

HUMOR AND ANECDOTE

Superior. Clay

"Гн late Eugene Field, while on one of his lecturing

tours, entered Philadelphia one bright spring
morning after that city had endured a three days’ rain-
storm.

There was some delay at the bridge over the Schuyl-
kill River, and the humorist's attention was attracted
by the turgid, coffee-
colored stream flowing
underneath. “It re-
minded me so much of
my own dear Chicago
River,” he afterwards
explained.

assing at the time, and inquired, in his languid tone,
if he were a resident of the Quaker City.

“Yassir!” replied that important functionary, “2
was bo'n an’ raised yere. Yassir!”

“Don't you people get your drinking water from this
stream?" queried Field. 2

“Yassir! Ain't got no vuther place to git it frum

“Ts it filtered before you drink it?"

“Хо, sah, not as I evah hea'd tell of!"

**T should think," said the humorist, “that you would
be afraid to drink such water; especially as the seepage
from that cemetery I see on the hill must drain directly
into the river and pollute it.” ‘

“Т” ye mean dat big bu'yin' groun' up vander bv de

reckon yo’ all doan’ know Philadelphy ve'y well, sah,

* Well, what of that?" asked Field, somewhat puzzled
at this unlooked for rcjoinder.

"Dat wattah doan' hu't us Philaydelphians none,

He Rescued the Most Valuable

Buss Савмау, the poet, tells of the extraordinary

coolness and self-possession exhibited by a Boston
man who lives in a hotel that was recently damaged
to a considerable extent by fire.

The guest slept through a greater part of the danger-
ous timc, and it was only by the greatest difficulty that
hc could be awakened and rescued from his perilous

light. When the firemen had got him into the corridor,
һе insisted upon going back. to his room “ just for а
moment" in order to get certain important papers.
Against their earnest protestations he did so. When
he returned he waved a few sheets of paper triumphantly
in the faces of the firemen.

“I couldn't find them all,” exclaimed he, “but at
least I've rescued the list of books I 've read this year!”

Frivolous, but full of Truths

А COMPETITIVE examination for applicants for certain

semi-clerical positions in the Boston Public Library
was held recently. One of the candidates was, no doubt,
soon convinced of his inability to pass, and expecting
no favorable outcome of his examination. he displayed
а frivolity in his answers that was a severe jolt to the
sense of propriety of the sedate person who conducted
the examinations.

In part the candidate's paper read as follows:—

Q.—How may the races of mankind be chiefly
divided? A.—Into losers and winners.

Q.— What does the Indo-Germanic family include?
A.— Indians and Germans; but in Kansas the combina-
tion is not an entire success.

Q.—Name in chronological order the various peoples
that have inhabited England. A.—England has been

—

inhabited by English only. Various foreign people
arrived, but immediately became English.

Q.— What does the present British Empire include?
A.—Everything it has been able to grab, except the
United States, Ireland. and a few of the surrounding
planets.

Q.—Wrhat, in a few words, are transcendentalism,
d and utilitarianism? A.—The first means
thinking on the roof while living in the basement; the
second means living high on ten dollars a week; the
third is the study of how to do so.

Q.— Describe a feasible course for the circumnaviga-
tion of the globe, mentioning all bodies of water which
would be through. A.—In a balloon. No
waters would be passed through.

Q.—Why is piracy now practically extinct? А.-
Through change of name. Except іп the book business,
it is now called “diplomacy,” “trusteeship," etc.

Could n't Smell Anything Wrong

p= WHITCOMB RILEY, in company with the
a! gentleman who used to manage his lecture tours,
was once examining a hall in a town in Ohio where it
was proposed Mr. Riley should give a reading.

The two men had as their guide a colored janitor
who was quite talkative. Mr. Riley observed that the
janitor made use of long words of whose meaning he
was ignorant. So the poet determincd to have a fle
fun with him.

АП at once Mr. Riley began to sniff th» atmosphere
critically. “It seems to me, Jim," he said sternly,
“that the acoustics in this place аге pretty bad."

"Why, boss," said the janitor reproachfully, “ Yo"
shore must be mistaken; I do n't smell anything.”

Where There's a Will There's a Way

A PROMINENT Boston physician tells of the many

ridiculous requests that were received by in-
vestigators in connection with the Roentgen rays when
Hun-

the experiments were first taken up in that city.
dreds of applications
were received from
various parts of New
England from indi-
viduals who had, or
imagined they had,
bullets and sundry
other foreign sub-
stances in the differ-
ent portions of their
anatomics. One in-
vestigator received a
most remarkable ге-
quest from a man
living іп Haverhill,
Mass. His commu-
nication was couched
in something like the
following form:—

“I have had a bul-
let in my thorax for
nigh onto ten years,
and, asJ am too busily
engaged all day to
come to Boston, I trust that you will find it convenient to
come here and locate the bullet. I am positive the case
would well repay your coming. But if you can not
come yourself, then send your apparatus and I'll get
one of our local doctors to use it."

The medical man to whom this letter was addressed
being of a humorous turn, his reply was as follows :—

“То my regret I shall be unable to visit you; nor
can I send you the apparatus. But, in the event that
vou should find it absolutely impossible to visit Boston,
if vou will send me vour thorax, I assure you that I
will do the best I can for vou."

Mrs. Roosevelt's Thoughtfulness

WHEN President Roosevelt is at his summer home

at Oyster Bay two secret service men sit all
night under a big tree near'the house. It is only
on very stormy nights that they desert the tree and take
refuge on the veranda, and are thus protected from the

rain, but not from the north wind that sometimes
sw in from Long Island Sound. During a storm
late last summer, the wind, moaning through the trees,
drove the rain in sheets upon the veranda, and the most
sheltered place the secret service men could find was
wet and chill.

Within the house all was silent. Apparently every-
body had gone to bed. But suddenly the side door
creaked, and a feminine voice called out: “Come
here, won't you, please." "The secret service men lost
no time in responding, for they recognized the voice.

“I've been worrying about you men out in this awful
night," said Mrs. Roosevelt, “ала thought that some
hot coffee would do you good. Come in and drink it.
It was too late to call the cook, so I made it myself.
I hope that it is all right."

“ІШ seemed to me to be the finest coffee І had ever
tasted," remarked the secret service man, when he told
this little story of the ever present thoughtfulness of
Mrs. Roosevelt for those around her.

John Hay Sized Up a Fool

(ONE day the late Mr. Hay was waited on at his official
residence at Washington by a young man
who came bearing letters of introduction that insured
him ап interview and welcome. Тһе cause of the
call was his—the youth's,—desire to enter journalism,
and he told as much to the secretary of state, He
also, with the divine egotism of untried youth, related
what he knew or thought he knew about journalism,
its current defects, his plans for correcting the same,
his opinions regarding the shining lights of the pro-
fession, his beliefs and theories, and much more of the
same.
“Well,” said Mr. Hay, when he had a chance to
speak, “ you think you know all this and more, do you?"
“ Yes."
“Oh, well,” was the reply, іп a sort of soothing,

fatherly tone, “you'll know better when you're a
little older. You 'll know better."

On another occasion Mr. Hay was notified that one
of his youthful appointees at Washington had got
himself into a serious scrape. After inquiring into the
facts of the case, he sent for the unfortunate young
man and addressed him thus:—

“You will tender your resignation to Mr. —— of
your department this afternoon and start for homc.
I have written your father, stating the facts of the
case, but have asked him not to punish you further on
the ground that you are not to blame for being born
а fool, but that I am at fault for being such a fool as
not to have seen in the first place that you are the fool

that you are."

Mr. Hill’s Attention to Details

j= J. Hm who has at different times occupied the

center of the railroad stage, has a marvelous head
for detail. He expresses himself methodically, and
impresses one with his absolute authority. His speech

is accurate and consecutive. In fact, if what he said .
rted literally, it would require almost no edit- `

were re
ing. you ask him about the wheat situation and
he deems it proper to give information, he will take
from a drawer in his desk a table of minute statistics
to guide him as he talks. There is not a spot alon
the line of his railways that is not regularly report
by his agents. Each agent keeps in communication
with the farmers of his locality and can accurately de-
termine the condition of the crops at any time. These
Kp are tabulated at the general offices and sent to
r. Hill at frequent intervals, so that he may be said
to be wholly conversant with everything that pertains

to the interests of his great company. Оп account of |

his remarkably accurate pec Mr. Hill
has been called a prophet. He’s not;—a prophet some-
time errs: he's a mathematician.

The Art of Christmas Giving

By MARY E. WILKINS FREEMAN
Illustrated by D. C. Hutchison

AS CHRISTMAS draws near, the ever-recurrent

question із ир ost: “What shall I give, and
to whom?" Тһе fact is, that giving is by no means the
simple thing which it seems to many,—not even
Christmas giving. To give where no need exists is
ап injury; to give where no desire exists is worse,
almost an insult, since it implies that the wishes of the
recipient have not been in the least studied. Merely
to hand over to another from one's abundance is not
in the truest sense giving at all. There is true giving
only when the gift a need and confers genuine joy

of ion.

Giving Christmas gifts is almost a science. It is
certainly a study for one who really wishes to give,
and not distress and embarrass. Хо опе is more help-
less than the woman who receives an utterly useless
and undesired gift. She is fairly forced into falsehood,
and is obliged to express gratitude which she does not
feel. The woman who has a green parlor, and receives
a blue rug, or the woman who has a blue dining-room,
and receives a set of doylies embroidered with purple
violets, or the woman with a sallow complexion who is
given a delicate pink shawl, is actually made to sin
against truth. She feels, if she is of a naturally grateful
and tender disposition, that she must express thanks
which she does not feel. Then, ten chances to one,
if itis not a struggle for
her not to pass along
those useless gifts, next
Christmas, and fairly in-
volve herself in a mesh
of deceit, she goes about
terrified lest, by any un-
foreseen chance, the first
giver should discover the
gift in the hands of the
second recipient. Often
people are so deluged by
useless giíts, that mem-
ory fails them concerning

takes are likely to occur,
and petty, and absurd,
but no less lasting feuds,
are the consequence.
Hannah searches among
her store of laid-by
Christmas gifts, and
— qu
upon the slight expend-
йге which de will have
to make this year; but,
alas, when Sarah shall
see the silk work bag which she gave Hannah in the pos-
session of Ada, who isan intimate friend of both parties,
and when Sarah, possibly, receives back her own center-

iece, which Hannah has quite forgotten was em-
Droidered by her with so much pains, and for which
she has no use, since she already had so many! Some-
times Christmas giving partakes more of the nature of
forcing nauseous medicine into the mouths of children
than anything else. Only it is worse, because the wry
face and sob of remonstrance must be suppressed,
and smiles, as if the palate were tickled with the most
delicious sweet, must take their places, and the bitter-
ness of deccit must rankle in the very soul.

Iam not by any means decrying the joys of Christmas
and Christmas giving. І consider that it is the sweetest
and holiest holiday of the year; but I do think it has
gradually acquired, among a certain number, a strenu-
ous, almost forcible, nature which detracts from its real
glory. People give because other people have pre-
sented them, the preceding Christmas, with things for
which they had no manner of desire, and sometimes,
when thc gift has really delighted them in one way,
it has placed them under a painful obligation. It
almost amounts to à blow on the other cheek to an
insult given and returned, rather than a gift,—that is,
of course, in some cases. Christmas is still Christmas
to many honest souls, who study the needs of those
whom they love, and give and deny themselves for the
love of them and the love of Christ, which is, after all,
the true essence of all giving. Тһе gift which is be-
cause of the Great Gift, and in memory of it, rather
than becausc of even human love itself, is the truest;
but many lose sight of that.

Mrs. G. gives to Mrs. C., because Mrs. C. gave her
something which she did not want, the year before,
and she feels that she must return the gift with one of

“Searches among her store of laid-by Christmas gifts”

She is burdened and bored, and angry,
but give she must. She struggles amidst the sharp
elbows of the shopping crowd. She fairly fights
her way to bargain counters. She feels in her inmost
heart that she is forfeiting her gree as a gentle-
woman; she loathes herself. She is angry and un-
grateful, but give to Mrs. C. she must, because Mrs. C.
gave to her. As Christmas Day draws near, she is in
actual terror lest some new Mrs. D. or E. or F. should
five something to her. Her husband's income is
ited, and there are the children, who must have their
Christmas, and she will need to stint in the quarter
where she loves the most, and she is glad when the day
is over. All summer, the anticipation of Christmas
is, with her, not as a pleasant and joyful thought, but
one of dire necessity. She has the eye of an eagle for
some cheap article which she can pick up on her summer
trip, the value of which, in dollars and cents, Mrs. C.
and Mrs. H. can not possibly know, and all the time
she feels her self-respect dwindling,—but what can she
do? She is a grateful soul, and, moreover, a proud
soul,—and, when she accepts, she must give. She
laments the passing or partial passing of Santa Claus,
when Christmas involved little more than the row of
stockings beside the fireplace, and the presents which
the old saint was supposed to bring down the chimney,
; pausing in his gleeful ca-
reer over the housetops
with his toy-laden sleigh
and reindeer.

All the blame could
then be put upon Santa
Claus, and who dared,
especially a child, to
blame a saint coming
way from the North Pole
on an errand of love?
Mrs. G. would so much
rather have Santa Claus
as a giver of Christmas
gifts than Mrs. С. Pass-
: ing from the realms of
fancy into thc actual
does involve a good deal,
although it may produce
a more straight-laced
truth.

Now Mrs. C.'s chil-
dren go over to thank
Mrs. G. for Christmas
presents, when formerly
they would have thanked
Santa Claus in their pi-
ous little souls, and would not have questioned lis
choice at all. They do question Mrs. G.'s choice,
sometimes quite openly, in spite of home training, and
strict injunctions to be polite. Deceit is not an easy
lesson for all children to lcarn, nor is gratitude readily
assumed when none is felt in the heart. “Mamma
sent me over to thank you for my beautiful doll, Mrs.
G.," says little Katie. Тһеп she adds: “І had five
other dolls оп the tree, and опе was a baby doll, I
have always wanted a baby doll. І had one just like
yours last Christmas, that Mrs. H. gave me, and she
15 just as good as ever she was. I don’t play with
dolls very much. I like games better."

It is horribly rude and ungrateful, but it is honest,
and if Mrs. G. had inquired into the state of little
Katie's doll family, it might have been avoided. Also
little Katie might not have been guilty of saying, when
the doll was given into her arms from the tree, that
she did n't want another old doll, and been thereupon
spanked by a mother who believed in the rigorous
bringing up of children and due chastisement for
spiritual sins, and in consequence shed real tears on

hristmas Eve, which was a pity. 'The vigor of Mrs.
C.'s blows might, too, have been unconsciously accentu-
ated by the fact that she, herself, had received two new
pairs of crocheted slippers, when she had three left
over from last year, and never wore crocheted slippers,
anyway.

There was once a devoted Sunday-school teacher
whose class was made up mostly of poor children.
There was a Christmas tree in the church, one year,
and she was pleased and touched to receive gifts from
every onc of her class, even the rest of them all, a
forlorn little scion of a disreputable family. Тһе gift
was a very fine handkerchief with her initial embroidered
in the corner. It was evidently imported. She dis-

layed it to her mother when she went home. “Poor
Б e Angelica gave me this," she said. "I do be-
lieve the poor child earned the money to buy it

icking huckleberries. It could not have cost a cent
ess than a dollar. Dear little thing, I could cry when
Ilookatit! 'To think of the self-denial, and her r
little coat is so thin! I am going to give her a thick
one for a New Year's present. I really can not have
such a child going cold to give me a present. Just
see how very fre it is, and the initial is hand work.”

The teacher’s mother, who was not given to senti-
mentalism, examined the handkerchief closely. Then
she looked at her pretty and enthusiastic daughter with
а queer expression, as
if she hesitated to say
what she thought.

* What is it, mam-
ma?" asked the teach-
ег.“ Why do you look
at me so?"

“Well, dear, don’t
ou see that this hand-
erchief is of exactly

the same pattern, as
to the embroidery and
the fineness, as those
you bought when you
were in Paris,last sum-
mer?"

The teacher's face
clouded, but she was
still en thusiastic, and
believing. “So it із,"
she said, ‘‘and it must
have cost much more

or ft t in
Paris. Poor, AEN та “ Christmas involved little

such refined taste, too. Angelica has something refined
about her in spite of her poverty and her surroundings.
I always thought so." e teacher almost wept.

* How many of those handkerchiefs did you buy in
Paris, dear?" asked the unsentimental mother.

“А. dozen and a half; why?"

“Where are they?"

“In the guest chamber, іп the top drawer of the
dresser. I have nothad occasion to use them yet.
I thought I would finish my old ones first. I had such
а supply already that I felt rather extravagant when I
bongas them, but they were so fine, that I was tempted.”

“Suppose you go and count them, dear.”

“Mammal”

“Never mind; just go. Idare say I am wrong.”

“Mamma, I am ashamed of you,” said the Sunday-
school teacher; but she went, and, when she returned,
it was with a crestfallen face.

“Well?” said her mother, interrogatively.

“There is one missing," admitted the daughter,
unwillingly. “I counted them over three times, and
lam sure. One is missing, and I am positive I have
not taken one out myself.”

“When you had your Sunday-school class to supper,
week before last," said her mother, rather pitilessly,
though her eyes were twinkling, “you remember the
children used the guest chamber for a dressing room.”

“Oh, mamma, I can ’t believe—"

“It looks suspicious,” said her mother.

“I can't and won't believe," began her daughter;
then she stopped suddenly. “Hush, mamma," she
said; ''hereis Angelica coming, now,—to thank me for
her Christmas present, I suppose. She is so grateful,
poor child, and it is almost dark, and so cold, she has
such a long way to go home, and her coat isso thin!"

The loving young teacher ran to the door, and
ushered in a shivering little girl with a delicate face.

“Thank you for my present, teacher!" she said.

Тһе teacher kissed her, and drew her up to the fire.

“Thank you for your present to me, dear!" she said.

The little girl looked at her teacher, and smiled,—a
delicate smile, without the slightest suggestion of guile
init. Butthe teacher's mother interposed.

“Angelica,” said she.

“Oh, mamma, don’t!” cried her daughter.

“When did you get that handkerchief?” she asked.

“The day I was at teacher's party," replied Angelica,
without the slightest hesitation. “І went in the room
when nobody saw me."

“You do n't mean to say,—’’ gasped the young
teacher, but the little girl continued to regard her with
loving, innocent eyes.

“I did n't have anything to hang on the tree for you,"
she said, simply. :

There was no excuse in her voice, onlv love. She
had taken and returned to her dear teacher her own.

“She did n't, —" said the teacher, brokenly; then she
bent down and kissed the little face again, the facc
of the little unconscious sinner and giver for love's sake.

She always wondered if she did right, and if she
should not have reproved, rather than kissed her,—but
she had not detracted from her merry Christmas.

SUCCESS MAGAZINE

MONEY-MAKING AT HOME

By ANNA STEESE RICHARDSON

Illustrations by Maud О. T. Thurston

HE woman who must carn money, yet can not

leave her roof-tree! She lives by the hundred

in large cities, by the score in towns, and by the dozen

in hamlets. She is not working for pin-money, but

to meet the monthly demands of butcher, baker, and
landlord.

Somctimes there is a bright son or daughter to be
sent to college. Sometimes a willing husband and
father is staggering under a load of doctor’s bills.
Sometimes, r- she must mect the hardest debt of

sad offices performed
for some loved one.
So the busy wife,

to the editor of

ments at home into

If she is a good

these spare moments
may run into hours
whose energies, prop-
erly directed, can not
fail to bring forth pe-
cuniary results. Fur-
ther, nearly every

latent talent, which, if unearthed and rubbed diligently,
will shine likc Aladdin's lamp, and in time grant her
wish to aid the family fortunes, On the other hand, the
wife and mother who must divide her energies between
household duties and baking for the Women's
Exchange, or the daughter who must alternate the
duties of a trained nurse to an invalid mother with
painting blotters and plate cards for a fashionable
stationer, can not expect to compete in the amount of
her earnings with the woman who works down-town
in shop or office. In time she may feel justified in

lacing a competent maid in her kitchen or in employ-
ing a trained nurse to take her place; but she must
work up to that point and not assume too much
expense at the beginning of her career as a home
money-maker.

Oddly enough, there is one
line of home work which ap-
peals to both classes of pa-
trons, and that is the gentle
art of beautifying members
of her own sex. Some very
able writers have declared
that the American woman i
has gone beauty-mad, that
she has her fave and her hair
treated until she loses her
individuality and all women
look alike, thanks to the inde-

"А manicuring table set in а shady comer’

fatigable beauty doctor who irons out all facial expres-
sionalong with the wrinkles. Be that as it may, the
fact remains that women were never so well-groomed,
so careful about the little niceties of the person as they
are to-day, and this opens a profitable field for the
home-worker. Here are two instances of women who
are working quietly along these lines:—

A Detroit girl had hands which were the envy oí
her young women friends, and which she always
explained were the result of her own careful mani-
curing. Her friends, sometimes in jest, sometimes in
earnest, suggested her opening a little manicure shop
for their accommodation, but it was her first season
“ош” and she was occupied with a round of gaieties.
But there came a day when financial storms swept
over their home, and the girl faced stern realities with
a few hundred dollars and an invalid mother on her
hands. Summer was approaching. 'To keep the
mother in town during the hot weather was impossible,
so she could not consider a position in office or store.
'Then suddenly she remembered the compliments her
manicuring had received. She made a flying trip to
а fashionable summer resort, and conferred with the
proprietor of а hotel around which were clustered а
number of small cott or annexes. When the sea-
son opened, she and the invalid mother were located
in the tiniest of the cottages, with a sign tacked to the
porch and a manicuring table set forth in а shady
corner, She advertised in the village paper and had
her cards distributed at all the other hotels. Her
venture more than paid their summer expenses.
When she returned to the city, she realized that the
gentle mother was failing and could not endure the
strain of turning their tiny drawing-room into a mani-
curing parlor, so the girl solicited house-to-house
nici rem 4 Her well-to-do patrons do not desire her
services before то A. M., so she makes the little mother
comfortable before leaving home and is always with
herevenings. Friends have urged her to open a shop,
but she says, "Wait. Five years from now I may
have a fashionable shop, but I know that then I сап
not have my mother."

One evening a hard-worked sten

apher who com-
mands a good salary was dining wi

an equally busy

married friend, the mother of three little people. Said
the stenographer as she leaned back in an easy chair
after the babies had been tucked into bed:—“T really

ought to go right home and wash my hair, but it is
such a tiresome task when I do it myself, and I hate
to go to a hairdresser after night. They rush you
through as if they were tired, too.”
"Let me do it for you," suggested her hostess, “I
have learned to do it for the
babies, you know."

Her gentle manipulation of
shampoo, towels, and brushes,
was a revelation to the tired
stenographer who wound up
luxuriously before the open

read during ri
process. А few days Ls
she came back to see her
friend with the proposition
that she take a few evening
customers among the stenog-
rapher's office companions.

' The little mother hesitated.
She qox ete the money.
Rent and butcher's bills had
both been advanced, but her
husband's salary had not.
Finally she compromised.
She would do the work, but
only on those evenings when
her husband, who was'a re-
tail clerk, was obliged to
work at the store. Such was
the beginning. To-day she
has a larger house with
double parlors. The rear

' ing and hairdressing, and the

front room she rents to a

Suppose you try. Women are very much the same,
in small towns and in large, and in the smaller place
there is less competition. For instance, away out in
Colorado is a rough town, nestled among rich mines.
The better class of women living there are the wives
of mine superintendents, experts, engineers, and
assayers,—as & rule women who have been raised in
gentle surroundings. The wife of a superintendent
- had just returned from a

visit with New York
friends, and she remarked
that she missed very sadly
the offices of the manicu-
rist who had taken charge
of her hands while she was
in the East. Тһе remark
was dropped in the pres-
ence of a house-to-house
cleaner, a general worker,
mind you, whose husband
had been injured in a mine
accident, and who thought
she could do better things
than scrub floors and polish
windows. She said to her
А patron:—“If I go to Den-
\ ver and learn manicuring,
do you think I could se-
"А magazine lo read dur- cure enough work here to

er patron was not sure.‏ ڪڪ

* Well," persisted the lit-
tle woman, “will you promise me your trade if I come
back with a real knowledge of the work?" `

The superintendent's wife said she certainly would.
Тһе miner's wife took part of the money her husband
had received for damages, went to Denver, studied
manicuring, came back, and started her work in her
own little cottage, where people knew her. She makes
home pleasant for her husband who, though crippled
for life, is now employed as a watchman, and she has
в good trade among the women for whom she formerly
did the roughest of house-work for a mere pittance.

То study manicuring, go to the best parlor in your
own city, and pay so much per lesson. In first-class
shops, two dollars a lesson is charged and the learner
must furnish her own subjects. That is, she is not
permitted to practice on the hands of regular cus-
tomers, but must bring with her some relative or
friend who does not object to serving as a subject.
One lesson of this sort a week, with constant practice
each day, and six lessons in all, should be sufficient for
the ordinarily bright and deft-fingered woman. This
method is much better than taking a three or four
months’ course in a school, where you give your
services all day as part payment for your training
and pick up a smattering of all lines, shampooing,
hairdressing, chiropody, in addition to the manicuring,

et learn nothing thoroughly. Patient practice at

ome is the surest road to proficiency and there are
father’s hands, the neglected fingers of the half-grown
brother, and perhaps the ugly little hands of a younger
sister, with nails bitten to the quick, all excellent fields
for the beginner to work in. In the meantime, let

fortable than a Hair Mattress

Comfort in a mattress is in reality a matter of con-
formation to the form of the body.

Lie on your side on a board—your body touches at
shoulder, thigh, calf and ankle. If you weigh 150
pounds and your body rests upon 75 square inches
of surface, then the pressure on those parts is 2
pounds to the square inch.

Lie on your side on an Ostermoor. lt conforms to
every curve—fits the body. Your weight is distribu-
ted over 500 square inches of surface—only 5 ounces
pressure to the square inch—that is comfort.

Between the extremes of the board and the Oster-
moor comes the hair mattress; sometimes fairly
elastic at first, but soon packing down into a hard,
non-conforming mat.

The Ostermoor retains its original unique elasticity
for over 20 years—as we have testimonials to prove.

SUCCESS MAGAZINE

THE EDITOR'S CHAT

in the past did not wait for paraphernalia or fine tools.

Your Fortune Is in Yourself

ІТ is not what а man gets,” says Henry Ward
Beecher, “but what a man is, that he should think
of" It does not matter how well you are buttressed
by the accident of birth, or wealth, or “pull,” or social
influence,—or all of these,—you will never succeed
to any great extent if you have not in yourself that
which makes you independent of props and crutches.
'There is no open dor to the temple of success.
Every man who enters forges his own key. He can
not effect an entrance for any one else. Not even his
own children can pass where he passes. The key that
will unlock your great opportunity to you must be
forged by yourself. No outside power—no help from
influential friends or relations,—can fashion it.

“Оһ, I'll study and get ready, and then, maybe,
the chance will come," said young Lincoln, when the
good irs. Crawford laughed at his joking suggestion
that he might some day be president. Would any
power on earth, think you, have opened the door to
the White House to the poor, awkward backwoods
boy, if he had not drilled his powers, and developed

° to the utmost those qualities which make men leaders?

As a rule, the youth who unlocks the door of oppor-
tunity and makes his mark in the world fights his way
up to his own leaf. What others do for him does not
amount to much in comparison with what he does for
himself. The pampered youth, who is brought u
in luxury, and not obliged to work, whose stre
is never called upon, rarely discovers what there is
in him. It is the boys who are bound out, crowded
out, and even kicked out, that often "turn out;” while
those who are pampered fail to “come out."

You can not keep a determined, gritty youth from
success. Put stumbling-blocks in his way and he
takes them for stepping-stones. Take away his money,
and he will make spurs of his poverty. Put him in a
log cabin in the wilderness, and we may still find him
in the White House.

If you are made of the stuff that wins, —it does not
matter whether you were born in a hovel orin a mansion,
—you will find your opportunity,—or make it. You
will not wait around for chance or luck to aid you.
You will not think that you must have a complete
outfit of the finest tools before you can attempt to do
anything. The men who accomplish great things

Men who are doing great things to-day did not wait
for somebody or something to smooth the way and re-
move all difficulties before they began their work.
No; they simply did the thing they set out to do with
whatever tools they could get hold of.

What if young Faraday, when he was working in
an apothecary's shop and dreaming of scientific ex-

riments, should have said to himself, *If I only

d a well-equipped laboratory, what wonderful thi
I could do!” But no, he did not waste his time in
idly wishing. He went, instead, into the attic above
the drug store and experimented with a glass vial,
an old , and a few other simple articles. With
his crude apparatus he Dy sage such marvelous
experiments and made such headway that he attracted
the attention of Sir Humphry Davy. If the apothe-
cary’s apprentice had waited for a lot of paraphernalia,
think you that Davy, when asked what he regarded
as his greatest scientific discovery, would have been
able to reply, “Michael Faraday?”

There was yet another Michael,—the great Angelo,—
who found opportunity to make his wonderful statue
of David out of a piece of marble which other artists
had discarded as useless.

The poor blacksmith boy, Elihu Burritt, did not
wait until he could go abroad, or until he could engage
teachers at home, to study foreign languages. By
utilizing every spare moment and using the tools he
found at hand, he became master of many tongues.

No, it is not fine tools or splendid opportunities or
influential friends or great riches that m at men.
The greatness is in the man or nowhere. е golden
opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not
in your environment. It is not in luck, or chance, or
the help of others. It is in yourself alone. If it is
there, no one can keep you down. If it is not, nobody
can help you much. It 15 there, however, for the
Creator has put the opportunity in every normal human
being. But one must find for himself the key that
opens its portal.

Doing Nothing Wrong ы

Doo characters are not built up simply by not
ol

pamby,

e, | wrong. Some of the most namby-

boneless apologies for men I ever have
seen were extremely careful never to do any-
thing wrong. They never touched a card,
never went to a race track, never saw the
inside of a saloon, did not know the taste
of liquors, never used tobacco, always at-
tended church, and never went fishing or
sailing on Sunday. Profanity would shock
them. They never danced, and never at-
tended theaters. In fact, their characters
seemed to be made up of the things they
did not do. Yet their lives were so insipid
—so negative,—that they never amounted
to anything. They were known merely as
men who never did anything wrong.

I know a man in New Yor! who Бы not
asingle bad habit, and yet he does not
amount to anything, for his whole charac-
ter is negative. He has nota particle of
initiative. He із a fine-appearing man, а
fascinating conversationalist, and yet he is
absolutely dependent upon others. He can
not set himself to work; and he can not

continue in it unless guided and supported,
—everything about him is of a negative
character. He can not create anything.

His greatest virtue seems to be in not doing
questionable things.

How often wehear parents congratulating
themselves because their children do not

* doa bad thing! A little while ago I heard
a mother boast that her son did not drink,
or smoke,or play cards, or do anything bad;
and yet he was about as shiftless and
insipid a boy as Ihave ever met. There
seemed to be no life in him. He lacked
push and p ive spirit.

I would not lose sight of the fact that the
youth who does not do bad things is saved
from dissipation and habits t would
weaken him, and I by no means recom-
mend boys to do bad things for the sake of
doing something; but I would emphasize
the fact that a strong manhood requires
sturdy and vigorous doing of things and
accomplishing results; that it means action,
and that character can not be built upon
negatives. A boy may not do a single bad

thing, and yet he may be a bad boy when compared
with what he might be. It is the boy who does not do
something when there is a tremendous temptation to
do it, ant who does the right thing when the wrong
ap to him very strongly, that builds character.

part of a robust character. There must be something
done. А creative quality is n . A character
made up of negatives is the weakest thing in the world.
It never accomplishes anything; it never stands for
anything.

А student might as well expect to become urong
intellectually by refusing to read bad books or
cac It is aa " telle beautiful,
inspiring literature t makes an int nt man,—
not refusing to read bad things.

A great trouble with many instructors of youth is
that their teaching is largely negative. They are
continually telling the boys and girls not to do this,
and not to do that. 'This does not go far enough.
Taking away a thing leaves only а vacancy. e
should displace the lower by the higher,—the positive
must take the place of the negative, —the creative, the
place of the destructive.

Тһе sooner that а young man learns that merely
letting bad things alone will not make a man of him,
the better. He must not only avoid the bad, but he
must also choose to do the good. If he would become
strong, he must do noble things, not merely avoid
doing ignoble things. The best way to let bad things
alone is to be so busy and preoccupied doing the good
things that we have no desire to do the others, There
is a tremendous expulsive power in the ambition that
dominates at the time. greater affection drives
out the lesser.

If instructors would teach this principle more, and
not give the impression that merely avoiding bad
things will make a man of a boy, they would do a great
deal more good.

“Made It АП By Hollerin”

Тз was the reply of a street fruit vendor to a lady
who asked БА how he had made his money,—
"Made it all by hollerin'," ‘You ‘ve got to holler,”
he said, “if you want to do business. Now there was
a feller sellin’ blackberries; his father was a sort of
gen'leman, and Dan'l he sort of felt "bove his occupa-
tion. Не sneaked ‘round the alleys sayin’ ‘Black-
berries l’ (imitating the boy ina little quavering whisper.)
Dan’! thought it was very gen'lemanly to say it that
way, amd mebbe it was, but he did n't sell no black-
berries until he got to hollerin' *Bla-ck-ber-ries!' like
the rest of us. Yes, ma'am, you 've got to holler your
way through the world if you want to make anything,

you just bet!"

This is a “hollerin’,” advertising age. А patent-
medicine maker says that, if he were given ten thousand
dollars to start with, he could bottle ordinary water so
attractively and, under an impressive name, push it
so persistently as a remedy for certain diseases that,
in a short time, he would miake ое and also a

t utation for his "remedy." People seei
f advertised long and persistently would Er. he said,
to associate with it powerful medicinal qualities which
it never but the thought acting on the mind
would produce such beneficial results that he could
easily obtain scores of testimonials for marvelous cures.

Whether this statement is entirely reliable or not,
there is certainly the basis of a great truth in it. Тһе
influence of keeping persistently before the eyes and
holding before the mind the name and qualities of an
article is bound to make an impression more or less
permanent, so that, when the person thus impressed
wants anything in the line of the article he has so long
seen advertised, he will, by the law of association, be
more likely to get that one which has made such a
strong impression on his mind than something with
which he 1s less familiar.

The experienced advertiser knows that the great
majority of people are imitators or followers. Тһе
tobacconist who advertises that he has sold a million
cigars of a certain brand knows very well, whether
his statement is true or not, that thousands of people
will follow the suggestion he has implanted in their
minds and do what others have done, reasoning that
what so many others have bought must have merit.
The same is true of the grocer, the dry goods merchant,
the druggist,—of all those who have anything to sell.
Тһеу appeal to the imagination and to the natural
credulity of the people, as well as to their instinct to
imitate and follow.

In the days of primitive advertising a large repre-
sentative dealer in drugs would hire people to go around
to drug stores to inquire for a certain article. This
fictitious demand would induce druggists to buy the
particular article, in order to fill what they thought a
real and normal demand. Then, having the thing
on hand, they would recommend it to customers, who,
hearing its merits extolled, would, in their turn, be
induced to buy. Тһе same result is now obtained
through advertising in newspapers, magazines, and
the other ordinary channels of to-day.

There are a great many inferior articles on the
market which have an enormous sale because of in-
genious and extensive advertising, while superior
articles, for lack of such advertising, remain unsold.

good it may be, is distrusted by the masses. Many of
us think that we are not influenced by advertising;
but, unconsciously, we are Advertisers know this.
They know that the majority of people will call for
that which they see extensively advertised. They
realize that the widely heralded and “seen every-
where” article will appeal to the average man and

woman.

Thousands of ple read a particular book, not
because it is the best they can find, but because they
have seen it so widely advertised and have heard so
much talk about it. They take it for granted that а
book which has created a demand for so many editions
must be the proper thing to read, although it жау be
nothing but trash compared with other books that have
never been even mentioned in the newspapers.

It is conspicuous, persistent advertising that sells.
If quality can be combined with effective advertising,
success is assured for almost any product. The best
toilet soap in the world would probably never obtain a
large sale if it were not advertised, whereas а very
inferior article, extensively advertised and pushed on
every side by posters and ingenious devices, will make
its proprietor a millionaire.

If put up in an attractive manner in artistic boxes,
tied with dainty ribbons, exposed for sale in handsome
stores, and extensively advertised, the quality of
ordinary confectionery will be enhanced a hundredfold
in the minds of the people, because they will associate
its quality with its surroundings.

In these “push or be pushed” days, when wares are
thrust in your face at the breakfast table, in the news-
papers, when all kinds of devices are used to force your
attention to every kind of merchandise, at a time when
people are too busy to examine into the real merits of
an article, it is necessary to force your goods to the
ұжы: or they will remain unsold, even if of а superior
quality.

In the early history of the country, superiority alone
would force an article forward. e name of George
Washington on a barrel of flour, the name of Ames
on a plow or a shovel, or that of Maydole on a hammer,
was sufficient to force these articles into popularity;
but to-day it would take more than a name, no matter
if it did stand for integrity and was a synonym for
B tr to accomplish such a result.

n this electrical age, the man who sells merchandise
of any description, unless he has practically a monopoly,
must urge his wares upon the market by a progressive
and persistent publicity, or he must step out of the pro-
cession and let others pass by him.

В А Successful Invalid

KNOW a lady who has been confined to her couch
in a small room for years, and can see only the to
of trees from her resting-place, yet she is so cheerful
and hopeful that people go to her with their troubles

and always go away comforted and encouraged.

"Oh, isn't the s ring beautiful!" (or summer,
autumn, or winter, à: the case may be,) is her ex-
clamation to callers, even when her y is quivering
with pain. Her eyes are always smiling. А light
shines through them which was never seen on land
Or sca.

Will anyone say that this woman, who has brought
light and cheer to all who know her, is poor, or a
failure simply because she has been confined to that
little room all these years? Мо; she is a greater suc-
cess than many a rich woman. She has the wealth
that is worth while,—the wealth that survives pain,
sorrow, and disasters of all kinds,—that does not
up,—which floods or droughts can not affect,—the
inexhaustible wealth of a sunny, cheerful soul.

Right Thinking, Right Life

WE TEND to become, and we grow more and more

like that which we cherish, harbor, and constantly
long for, and tend to lose or become unlike that which
we hate, despise, and habitually deny. The latter
gradually loses its grip upon our lives, releases its hold
upon character, and finally vanishes.

The persistent denial of the theory that we are poor,
miserable worms of the dust, victims of limitation, of
weakness, of darkness, and of discord, and the stout
affirmation of the dominance of truth and beauty,
bring out marvelous beauties of character. That which
is constantly and persistently denied will ultimately
fade out of the consciousness and go out of the life.

A tremendous power permeates the life and solidifies
the character from holding perpetually the life-thought,
the truth-thought, the cheerful-thought, and the beauty-
thought. Тһе one who has the secret takes hold of the
very fundamental principles of the universe, gets down
to the verity of things, excludes all kinds of errors, and
lives in reality itself. A sense of security, of power,
of calmness, and of re comes to the life that is
conscious of being enveloped in the very center of truth
and reality which can never come to those who live on
the surface of things.

It is impossible to estimate the value of the quality
of our everyday habits of thought. It makes all the
difference in the world whefher these habits are health-
ful or morbid, and whether they lead to soundness
or to rottenness. The quality of the thought fixes
the quality of the ideal. The ideal can not be high

if the thought is low. It is worth everything to face life
with the right outlook,—a healthful, cheerful, optimis-
tic outlook, —with hope that has sunshine in it.

It is easy to gauge the quality of a man’s outlook
upon life the first time we meet him. We can tell
whether there are traces of pessimism in it, whether he
is soured by his unfortunate experiences, disheartened
by his discouragement, and whether he looks upon
everybody with suspicion, or sees and believes in the
best in everybody. If he tells us he believes every
man has his price, we know there is something wron
with his outlook; but, if he is bright, cheerful an
hopeful, if he believes the race is pointing upward
toward tbe millenium, if he congratulates himself
because he was born in the nick of time and in the very
best part of the world,—if he believes in his fellow
men, we know that he has a healthful outlook, and
that he faces the right way. If he faces toward the
light and follows the sun, he will never be in darkness.
The shadows will always fall behind him.

We believe in the man who believes in the best in
his race; who thinks that all wrong is on the way
to its suicide; who considers that discord is simply
the absence of harmony, and has no real existence;
who understands that darkness is only the absence
of light; and who perceives that health is reality and
disease is unreality.

Hints to Young Writers
IV.—Health and Authorship

N an interview with President Roosevelt, he told the
writer that he oweseverything to his active life and vig-
orous outdoor exercise. He said that his present career
would be absolutely impossible without this training,
that he owes everything to his experience as a cowboy in
the West, and that he believes thoroughly in building up
the body in every possible way, not especially in order to
become an athlete, but rather to become strong for the
sake of the reflex influence upon the mind. The Presi-
dent said that he never did anything well in the athletic
line, except, possibly, wrestling.

A strong mind must be backed up by a strong phy-
sique,—by an overflow of animal spirits. Great things
must be done easily. The straining of a weak, low
vitality to do great things is not effective. The tracks of
effort—the evidences of strain and stress,—must not be
in it.

You may be sure that your weakness, whatever it is,
will crop outin your writing. The best writing that you
will ever do will be done*by your vital or healthy side.
No amount of will power can compensate fora flagged
mind in a weak body. А vigorous реп must be guided
by a vigorous nature. Weak, bloodless composition will
never stir a reader. There must be a great, strong pulse
back of it all. If you have not the grit in yourself it
will not flow from your pen. If you do not have that
robustness of health, you can not inject bounding
vitality into your composition.

No one likes to read the vaporings of a feeble thinker.
The average reader can tell vir quickly whether a
writer is in strong, vigorous condition, or jaded from
dissipation, overwork, or a weak constitution. Тһе
public is merciless; it demands that a man be ever at the
top of his condition. Readers do not take any excuse
that you were out late nights, that you overloaded your
stomach at a banquet, or that you have some physical
weakness.

Many writers do not appreciate the great fact that
readers will draw out of every book just what the writer
put into it,—his moods, his physical condition, his
mental and moral status, his melancholy or his mirth,
his joy or his sorrow, his uplifting optimism or his black-
ening pessimism, the tonic of hiscourage, or the depress-
ment of his despair. Each reader has the same feeling
which the author had; that is, if he is tired and јадеа, —
if his brain is fagged when he writes,—no matter how
weighty his words or how brilliant his thought, the
reader has the tired feeling too. In other words we have
no power to communicate anything except what we
feel ourselves. We radiate our own feelings. Others
about us feel what we are,—not what we pretend to be,
but the truth about us.

The momentthe mind begins to tire, and you feel your
faculties begin to lag, stop. Freshness, spontaneity and
vigor are absolutely essential to all good composition.
Learn to express yourself forcibly, so that you will get a
firm grip on every reader. You may never have had a
chance at him before. Hold on to him. Let him feel,
when he strikes a thought of yours in a book or an
article, that there is a gripping power back of it. Let
him feel the sentences bite.

People who heard Webster in the greatest speech ever
delivered on the American continent said that they felt a
reserve power back of all he said, infinitel ater than
his words; that there was a greater sch Te the
words than he actdally spoke. So it is with a writer. If
you feel, when reading a book, that the author has said
the greatest thing possible to him, you will not be im-
pressed with his power; but if it comes so naturally and
so easily that it suggests something infinitely greater
back of it all, then you feel the power of the man back of
the pen; but if you can not feel this power back of the
book, it is not a great book and will not live.

This suggestion of reserve power is a character-
istic of all greatness. We never heard Beecher, even in
his supreme efforts, but we felt that there was something

THE EVANS VACUUM САР is simply а mechanical

means of obtaining a free and normal circulation ot blood

"а іп the scalp, and the blood contains the only properties

-_ that can maintain life in the hair and induce it to grow.

If the Evans Vacuum Cap gives the scalp a healthy glow

LN and produces a pleasant, tingling sensation, then the normal
“as; ~ condition of the scalp can be restored, and à three or four

~ NX ` minutes’ use of the Cap each day thereafter will, within в

reasonable time, develop a natural and permanent growth of
hair. 1f, however, the scalp remains white and lifeless after
the Cap is removed, then the case would be a hopeless one regardless of all the infallible hair restorers advertised.

The Vacuum Method is what might be described as a vigorous massage without the rubbing, and there are

no drugs or irritants employed. The cap is furnished on trial and under guarantee issued by the Jefferson Bank |

greater back of it all that he could say, and would
say, should occasion call for it.

No one ever heard Phillips Brooks without feeling
that there was a marvelous man who was never seen,
but was always suggested back of the Brooks he did
see,—that, standing in his shadow, there was a man
almost divine.

This suggestive power back of the writer is a com-
posite man, into which must enter a number of rich ex-
periences. А great self-mastery—a powerful concen-
tration,—a great life-focusing ability,—must be back of
it all, and there are a hun elements which go to
make up this reserve.

No amount of ability or learning in an author can
take the place of freshness or spontaneity. ‘There must
be a crispness, or freshness, together with the vigor of
‘thought which fascinates and holds the reader, or he
will lose interest.

Many an author fails because his writings lack this
essential freshness. Many of the best ks ever
written lieon the shelves unread because they are labored
orheavy. There is an indescribable atmosphere about
a book which is not in the words, but in that which one
feels. "Тһе greatest book is written between the lines.
It does not inhere in the printed words.

There is an indescribable something in every author's
writings which eludes analysis, but which the reader
feels, the same as he feels an indescribable something
from the presence of a man with whom he is conversing.
We get an impression from meeting a person which is in-
dependent of the words he speaks,—a subtle somethi
which seems to radiate from his person, his manner, an
his character. It is said that people who saw Lincoln,
even though they did not hear him speak or know who
he was, felt somehow that they were in the presence of a
great man.

1f this personality is to be felt in its maximum force,
the person must be at his best physically, А tired,
jaded, weak, exhausted man does not radiate force or

wer. Neither he nor his work will make a deep or
asting impression.

We do not believe in the **midnight oil" business for
writers. The man who, with a wet towel about his head,
forces himself to produce thoughts for a book or an
article must expect the reader to resort to the same
means to keep himself awake while reading it.

The Soul's Sunshine

"ТГне cold, chilling atmosphere which sometimes per-

vades a reception or other social gathering is often
entirely dissipated by the hearty, ringing laughter of
some simple, genuine soul who is bubbling over with
fun. 'The stiffness and constraint which a minute
before embarrassed the whole company are relieved
as if by magic.

There is something in genuine, spontaneous humor
which removes all restraint, scatters embarrassment,
relieves tension and welds souls together as no intro-
duction or conversation can. It puts the shy at case,
dissipates prejudice, gives confidence to the timid, and
rcassures the shrinking soul. The cheery smile, or
the spontaneous laugh, awakens sympathy and arouses
feelings of friendliness. It seems to melt all barriers.

Oh, what riches live in a sunny soul! What a
blessed heritage is a sunny face, to be able to fling out
sunshine wherever one goes, to be able to scatter the
shadows and to lighten sorrow-laden hearts, to have
power to send cheer into despairing souls through a
sunny and a radiant heart! And if, haply, this herit-
age is combined with a superb manner and exquisite
personality, no money wealth can compare with iis
value.

This blessing is not very difficult of acquisition, for
a sunny face is but a reflection of a warm, generous
heart. Тһе sunshine does not appear first upon the
face, but in the soul. 'The glad smile that makes the
face radiant is but a glimpse of the soul's sunshine.

The Art of Pleasing

"TE secret of many a man's success is an affable

manner, which makes everybody feel easy in his

resence, dispels fear and timidity, and calls out thc
nest €! men nature. қ 2

Com tively few people have t delightful
faculty of bein able to get at the best in edem end
of so drawing them out of their shell of reserve or shy-
ness that they will appear to the best advantage.

It is a wonderful gift to be able to reach the heart of
a man and to help him to develop powers and qualities
of attraction which he did not know he Such
a gift has sealed great friendships for life, and has
caused a man to be sought after in business as well as
in social circles.

By taking a large-hearted interest in every one we
meet, by trying to pierce through the mask of the
outer man or woman, to his inmost core, and by cul-
tivating kindly feelings toward every one we meet, it
is ible to acquire this inestimable gift. It is really
only the development of our own finest qualities that
enables us to understand and draw out what is fine
and noble in others. Nothing will pay one better
than the acquisition of the power to IRA others feel
at ease, happy, and satisfied with themselves. Nothi
else will make one more popular and sought after.

А Word to Strikers

By ELBERT HUBBARD
[ Editor of “Тһе Philistine" ]

OVER the desk of William Morris there used to hang

& motto, the words carved on wood, and the words
were these: HE THAT ENDURETH TO THE END SHALL
Bx SAVED.

Patience,—that is the theme.

I am not sure that William Morris was the most

tient man I ever saw; had he been patient by nature,
ln would never have thought to have had that sign
constantly before him.

But it is well to realize that it is the patient man who
wins. To do your work and not be anxious about
results is wisdom of the highest order. This does not
mean that you are to sell yourself as a slave,—if your
present position does not give you an opportunity to

w, and you know of a better place, why, go to the
tter place, by all means. The point I make is simply
this: уса care to remain in a place, you can never
better your position there by striking for higher wages
or favors of any kind.
LI a

An employee who drives a sharp bargain and is
fearful that he will not get all he earns never will.
There are men who are set on a hair trigger,—alwa
ready to make demands when there is a rush of work,
and they threaten to walk out if their demands are not
acceded to.

The demands may be acceded to, but this kind of
help is always marked on the time-book for dismissal
when work shall get scarce and business dull.

Such men are out of employment about half the time;
and, the curious part of it is, they never know why.

As a matter of pure worldly wisdom,— just cold-
blooded expediency,—if I were an employee I would
never mention wages. I would focus right on my work
and do it.

Тһе man that endures is the one who wins. I never
would harass my employer by inopportune propositions,
—1 would give him peace, and I would lighten his bur-
den. Personally, I would never be in evidence, unless
it were positively necessary,—my work should tell its
own story.

^ a

A cheerful worker who ahead and makes him-
self а necessity to а business—never adding to the
burden of his superiors,— will sooner or later get all
that is his due, and more. Не will not only get pay for
his work, but he will also get a bonus for his patience
and another for his good cheer.

À man who makes a strike to have his wages raised
from fifteen to eighteen dollars а week may get the
raise, and then his wages will stay there. Най he kept

uiet and just been intent on making himself a five-
usand-dollar man, he might have grhvitated straight
to a five-thousand-dollar desk.

I would not risk spoiling my chances for a big pro-
motion by asking for a little one, and it is but a trite
truism to say that no man ever received a big promotion
because he demanded it,—he got it because he was
worthy, and for no other reason.

Ask the man who receives a ten-thousand-dollars-a-
year salary how he managed to obtain it, and he will
tell you that he simply did his work as well as he could.
Never did such а man go on a strike. Тһе most suc-
cessful strike is a defeat; and, had the man been a
striker by nature, sudden and quick in quarrel, and
(ға of his rights, things would һауе conspired to

р him down and under. I do not care how clever
he may be, or how well educated, his salary would have
been eighteen a week at the farthest, with a very tenuous
hold upon his job.

“He that endureth to the end shall be saved."

a *

At a hotel, the man who complains is the man against
whom the servants are ever in league; and the man who

complains most is always the man who has least at !

home.

If you are defamed, let time vindicate you,—silence
is a thousand times better than explanations.

Explanations do not explain. t your life be its
own excuse for being,—cease all explanations and all
apologies, and just live your life.

By minding your own business you give other folks
an opportunity to mind theirs; and, depend upon it,
the great souls will appreciate you for this very thing.

I am not sure that absolute, perfect justice comes to
everybody in this world; but I do know that the best
way to get justice is not to be too anxious about it. As
love goes to those who do not lie in wait for it, so does
the big reward gravitate to the patient man.

“He that endureth to the end shall be saved."

No theorizing, no beautiful exploitation of epigram-
matic proverbs, is going to enable dishonest, worthless
individuals to produce elevated and reputable govern-
ments.

IF YOU ARE WELL-BRED

Receptions and Calls
By MRS. BURTON KINGSLAND

Ove invitations were for a "Poverty Luncheon" at

the home of our dear nappy-go-lucky friend,
familiarly known among us as “Chatterbox.” Тһе
apartment-house in which was her modest domicile
was so far uptown that in mentioning the street, the
residents left off the hundred prefix and spoke of 'Fifty
Seventh Street.

“Tt gives us quite a fashionable feeling," Chatterbox
had explained merrily,—''and the natives understand
each other."

As there was no elevator, we were pantingly con-
scious of having mounted many stairs, but the door
stood hospitably open—and
our hostess met us with the
warmest cordiality.

"Welcome to my sky par-
lor,” she exclaimed, em-
bracing us, and Madame
Heartsease whispered aud-
ibly!—* One would know
by her sunshiny face that
he lived very near heaven."
When our little party had
assembled Chatterbox led
the way to the dining room,
where we found a table at
which Santa Claus himself
might have presided as host,
Our hostess was so pleased «у
with it herself that when
one exclaimed, “ How love-
ly 1” she laughed like a
happy child, exclaiming:—

“Yes, is n'tit! Tack and I had such fun doing it."

This was quite a new social atmosphere. Every
face smiled at her ingenuousness, and realized how
superior was simple naturalness to the fashionable
pose of decrying everything that one has. b

Above the ier Е the chandelier ery wreathed
with nery, and from it hung strings o corn,
which fell pe the edge of the table се ыда sar кісе
giving quite a bower-like effect. Around the center-
picce—a mound of holly,—the tablecloth was covered
to within two feet of the table-edge with sheets of fine
cotton-batting, sprinkled with mica dust, to give it the
appearance of snow. This was edged with a wreuth
of holly, and small dishes of lady apples, and of wal-
nuts, were placed upon it at intervals.

These last, we found later, had been opened, a
Christmas motto inserted in each, and the shells held
together again with a few drops of mucilage. Mine
contained the following:— 2

men come
In Dad are obvious of
everyone else”

All joie and siue
Wait on thy holiday;

True love and friendliness

Hallow thy happincss.—OLp CAROL.

My neighbors read from theirs:—

Our content is our best having.
SHAKESPEARE.

Hope the best for yourself.

“Jack chose them,” Chatterbox ex-
plained with wifclv pride, “опе evening
when we were reading.” :

The menu consisted of chicken boui-
lon, creamed codfish, served in little

“I carefully wrote an-
swers to all the іпойа-
tions'"'

brown earthenware pots,—‘‘cost, five cents apiece,”
volunteered our hostess when someone ired them.
Chicken patties followed in which bits of celery
acceptably replaced mushrooms, then slices of tongue,
with green péppers filled with vegetable salad. Ice
cream, in the form of snowballs, and black coffee
completcd the little feast.

hen rallied upon “the pride that apes humility"
in calling hers a "poverty" luncheon, our hostess
confided that its cost was at poverty prices. The
bouillon was but the water in which the chicken for
the patties was boiled, thickened with a little cream.
The patty-forms cost three cents apiece at а -neigh-
Uo Acque fu and the ice cream was homemade,
moul with a big spoon into balls, and rolled in
powdered cocoanut.

“This is the most ‘Christmas-sy’ thing I have
enjoyed,” said Madame Croesus, when someone
alluded to the table. ''I confess with shame that I
hate Christmas,—it means such hard work | I have
shopped for forty presents, and I live in dread that
someone will give me something for whom I have pro-
vided ага 4

“Blessed nothing |" laughed Chatterbox. “I
think the proverb applicable. Who would want
presents given in that spirit?”

"I begin my Christmas shopping,” said Madame

: Heartsease, “the day after Christmas, and all through

the year gather or make the trifles, out of whick I get
as much pleasure as I hope to give. I have а super-
stition that 1 must give gladly to insure pleasure to
the recipient."

“Very likely," sighed Madame Croesus. "I feel
as if my friends had suddenly turned into creditors. I
thought that I could scarcelyspare the time to come here
to-day with a nightmare of presents—yet unprovided,—
haunting me, but a quiet little luncheon with you was
too alluring to be resisted."

“ Men arc very witty at the expense of our luncheons,
thinking them gossipy affairs. But that is not my ex-
perience," I said. "I never love my sex so much as
after such a little cozy reunion as this."

“Women's lunchcon parties are distinctively Amer-
ican,” said Rose Madden. “Ав an art student in
Paris, after my graduation, I of course saw little or

' nothing of fashionable life, but I think we are alone in

having entertainments exclusively feminine. In France
a déjeuner at noon is likely to include both sexes, and
a woman guest who would wear her hat at a friend's
table would be ostracized!”

“Being the inventors of the form of entertainment,
we may impose our own laws of etiquette I suppose,

then," said I.

“Oh, etiquette!” exclaimed Chat-
terbox. “What a ghost that is never
laid, that is, to us poor country folk!
When I first came to New York to live,
mindful of my dear mother’s maxim
that the golden rule would be sufficient
guide, I carefully and politely wrote
answers to all the invitations to teas
and receptions that I received, instead
of taking no notice of them and send-
ing my card when the day came, if I
could not get up my courage to go, or
was otherwise prevented.”

“Why, my dear,” said Madame
Croesus gently, “what was there to
embarrass you? You had only to leave
your card on the hall table, remove your
wrap if you chose in a room up-stairs
or even in the hall, shake hands with
your hostess at the drawing-room en-
trance, and pass on. It seems so simple."

“Yes,” exclaimed Chatterbox, excit-
edly, “but it is the ‘passing on’ that
made my knees give way under me when
I gazed about the room and saw only

faces. I later to

body at its far end, and so into the dining room where
some angelic being without a hat offered me tea or an
ice, Ас ibn sometimes confessed to her that I was
a stranger in a strange land, and my lorn condition
led her to present me to one or two persons near by.”

"All beings without hats at receptions are not
angelic,” interposed Rose. “They are supposed to be
the assistants and representatives of the hostess, but 1
find them generally absorbed in talking with their
own friends, and, if young men come in, they are
oblivious of everyone else. Excuse me. Such ге-
marks are symptoms of *old-maidism' I suppose, but
I do not see why girls do not moderate their manner a
little at the appearance of a man."

“Tt is a great pity," said Madame Heartsease,
“that one should feel self-conscious and uncomfortable
in a crowd. There is so much to see and enjoy,—
the bright, animated faces, the pretty toilets, sometimes
beautiful music,—all that the hostess has been at pains
to provide. And one may be pretty sure that people
are interested in themselves and each other and
scarcely notice a strangcr,—unless exceptionally beau-
tiful or smart in dress. Besides, it has always been
considered correct, I think, to address any fellow guest."

“Тат the president of a certain society," said my
neighbor, Gladys ; “ат I not privileged, at our recep-
tions, to speak to any and every one ?”

“Certainly, the official position entitles you to act
as if you were receiving your friends at your own
house," I replied.

“Іп France, the saying is that ‘the roof is an intro-
duction,’ " remarked Rose. “Тһе names are announced
upon the entrance of guests, and after that everyone
is supposed to be acquainted and no further intro-
ductions are made.”

“How delightful!" exclaimed Gladys.

"I do not know why it is, but I get all mixed up in
making introductions. What is the exact rule, Mad-
ame Croesus ? You are our society leader."

“Heaven forbid! I deny all claim to such a title,
but the little I know is at your service. When intro-
ducing two women of different ages, or an unmarried
woman to a matron, the name of the elder or of the
married one is mentioned
first, as: 'Mrs. Black, will
you allow me to present
Miss White?’ Of course,
а man is presented to а
woman in the same way,
as though rer, іден per-
mission. Often the names
are merely mentioned, in
which/case it does not mat-
ter which is spoken first;
but the woman or the per-
son of greatest distinction
is the опе addressed, her
attention being directed to
the other."

“Should not one always
rise when a person is in-
troduced?" asked Rose.

“When а woman is brought to you for presentation,
you should rise at once and offer your hand, but it is
not done when a general introduction is made, as often
happens at a lunchcon, as each guest arrives and is
made acquainted with those already assembled.
Each woman bows as her name is mentioned, and the
lady presented smiles and bows in a manner that in-
cludes the whole circle. "When a man is presented
to a woman, she remains seated and does not offer
her hand,—unless she is a hostess,—though her
manner should be very cordial. But how absurd for
me to tell you these details 1”

There was a chorus of protest, and then Chatter-
box took the floor.

“Now, since we-are on the subject of conventions,
I should like to ask whether you do not think it a sense-
less custom for a woman to leave her husband's cards
with her own, when everybody knows that he is not
a e rounds making afternoon visits with her.”

“Not at all," answered Madame Croesus. “Хо
опе is deceived. It is merely a custom to give the hus-
band social recognition with his wife. In Europe men
do call with their wives more than in America, but
our men are too busy. Besides, it is not strictly neces-
sary, except at the first calls of the season or after some
hospitality that has included the husband.”

“How many of his cards does she leave ?" asked
Rose.

“Some women leave a card for the lady of the
house and one for its master, ignoring any unmarried
women of the household, as they are not expected to
receive the calls of married men. Others leave one
card for them all, inclusive, Mothers frequently
leave the cards of their sons, and sisters those of their
brothers. It merely acknowledges their existence
and good intentions, and when an entertainment is to
be given, the guests arc recruited from the list of those
whose cards have becn left.

“Му country friends have rather primitive ideas
about cards," said Chatterbox. “Some of them have
them printed, others write them very neatly in ink.
They do not know that they may economize in their
food if they will,—but not in cards."

“That one must not economize one's politeness

Removing Putty from Old Sashes

Тһе simplest and neatest way to remove hard putty
is to give it two or three coats of ordinary paraffine
oil, allowing half an hour between coats. The

troleum will penetrate the putty and dissolve the

а short time, and in an hour or two it can be readily
remgved. FRED J. СЕНЅКЕ.

A Hint о the Wise

Іп a conversation with a house furnisher,
I was informed that, at certain seasons of
the year, it was impossible to get enough
men to lay mattings, hang shades, or
drape fortiéres, —and my own experience
in housekeeping bears out the statement.
In New Orleans three cents per yard is
paid for laying mattings, and it is clean
and tapid work; one dollar per per is
charged. for mrp omy Basin is is
something that can be done on Saturdays and in the
afternoons, and can be easily learned by any intelligent
man or youth, and would materially aid in paying col-
lege expenses. The student could hire himself to a store
which dealt in such things. 5. S. HUFFMAN.

Sealing Tomato Cans with Putty

Two or three years ago we experienced trouble with
our sealing-wax, which ran down into the cans and
spoiled our tomatoes. Since that time
we have used putty, and have had no
further trouble. The putty is bought
ready mixed, and a little working with
the hands is all that is necessary.

When using Mason jars, it is well to
place a cloth dampened in alcohol over
ihe top of the fruit, and outside the lid
tie a cloth dipped in paraffin.

Mrs. J. B. MCALLISTER.

Paint-spattered Windows
A friend, who purchased an old, long-
vacant house, was dismayed to find the
windows so spattered with hardened paint
that it was almost impossible to clean
them. Ata painter’s suggestion she rub-

so loosened the paint that the glass could
then be casily washed.

Economy in the Carden

Having a small garden, we utilize space in the follow-
ing manner, which probably few have thought of doing:

After the first plowing of the potatoes, we plant sweet
corn between the potato rows to take the place of the
earlier corn. Also, between the potato rows we set
celery, which does very nicely.

Between the hills of potatoes, not every hill, sunflower
seeds are planted, which make excellent food for
chickens, hastening the moulting season and getting
them in condition for winter laying. The foregoing
method does not injure the potato crop in he бк
After the early peas and beans, late cabbage is set out
Radishes are put in the beet row, as they
can be taken out for table use before they
crowd the beets.

The en is planted in rows so that
all can be cultivated with the plow as
much as possible. Herbs are set about

the garden fence, also rhubarb and horse-
radish. Mrs. LULA*GOSHORN.

А Cood Мау to Pack. Apples
When storing the winter supply of

apples in the cellar, wrap each apple in
а bit of newspaper, then pack them in
barrels, or boxes. Last year we kept two
barrels till the middle of May, and found
them in condition. 'They were placed
in the cellar in October, and had not been
sorted over all winter.

AILEEN M. EBERMAN.

А Hint for Chrysanthemum Crowers

Eben L. Rexford, in his care of chry-
santhemums, pots the new sprouts in
spring, thinking it deleterious to plant out
and lift again in the fall. My method,
will, I think, insure more blooms and of as satisfactory
a quality. І cut from the plant, when brought out of
the cellar in the spring, a block of sprouts, and plant
them in the ground, giving good cultivation and plenty
of water, and pinching back the strong shoots and re-
moving the weak ones. In August, before the buds
appear, I have a thrifty, shocky plant, with innumerable
heads for bloom. This I lift carefully, saturating with
water the night before, put in good size pots, and
leave out of doors until danger from frost The
plants are not retarded in any manner by
this treatment, and are thriftier, with less
labor than if kept in pots all summer. Of
course, if one has a gardener, or abun-
dance of time, it makes little difference as
to the method, as long as results are sat-
isfactory. But, for the busy woman who
wants her blossoms, there is labor saved by
this method and as good results obtained.

А Novel Invalid's Wrap

This is а new idea for
something warm and cosy
for aninvalid to slip across
her shoulders when sitting
up in bed. It is in the form
of a nightingale, and is
made of fine cheese cloth,
white sheet wadding, and

le blue, or pink, single

rlin wool. The cheese
cloth should be a yard
wide.

Take two square yards
of the cloth; place one
thickness of wadding be-
tween; baste together so
as to hold firmly; then,
using the wool, tuft the
whole here and there, as
our grandmothers did the Ar Invalid's Wrap
“comforters” of old. From
one point, diagonally
across, cut to the middle
of the square, at which place cut а round hole large
tacui lor the neck. Around the four edges of the
square, up both sides of the opening and around the
neck, se 3 with wool, the blanket or buttonhole stitch.
About eight inches from the points that fall over the
arms, tack the edges together to form sleeves. At
the neck sew on two blue (or pink) ribbons, or cord and
tassels made from the wool, to tie snugly, and you have’
а dainty, inexpensive present for some friend.

Take a strip of sheet zinc, 1 x 4 inches, (or the most

An excellent dark lantern can be made by anyone
for eighteen cents. Procure an empty starch box
and remove the cover. Purchase a candle and a piece

cents. Bore or cut a large hole in the top or end of
the box and air holes near the base; light the candle
and place it inside of the box; insert the glass in the
grooves, and the dark lantern is ready for use. Care
should be taken to prevent any light from shining
through the air holes. W. А. CAMPBELL.

New Uses for а Meat Chopper

So many people think that the uses of a meat-
chopper or grinder are entirely covered by its name,
but here are a few other uses. When making Chili
sauce, pare the onions and tomatoes and remove stems
and seeds from the peppers; then, using thc medium
knife, put them through the chopper, onions and
рер, rs first. The tomatoes will remove апу odor left

y the first two, and a pie tin or basin on the floor will
catch any drip from the chopper and protect the floor.

For chopped pickle, the same medium knife will
save much tedious chop-
ping in à bowl, and do
the work more cvenly be-
side; the same is true in
mince-meat making.

Mounting Vacation Pictures

Kodak pictures can be easily and artistically grouped
and mounted on a piece of blue-print paper laid out
smoothly across an ordinary bread board. Fasten
the films on the paper by sticking common pins in each
corner, pinning down one end first, and taking саге
that the film is smoothed out so as to lie close to the
paper before pinning down the opposite end, and slant
the pins so that the film will not slide up. They need

А Hint for Preserving Time
To those sisters who are up to their eyes in pickling
and preserving, and who cling to the time-honored
custom of heating the glass jars thoroughly before
filling, 1 would say: ‘Rinse the jars out thoroughly
in cold water, but do not wipe them; then bottle as
always to overflowing. Try it once, and you will never
be the slave to a hot jar again." Out of hundreds
done in this way, not one ever cracked in the process,
and the saving of time and labor ought to count in
this busy season. This was an accidental discovery.

How to Arrange Clippings for an Invalid

I have saved the humorous articles clipped from the
papers and magazines, —the things that have made
me laugh, and I am fixing them in the following way,
to pass gn to some other invalid, for the effect of
laughter upon health and disease is incalculable.

Instead of the regulation scrapbook, I use card-
board of different sizes to paste my clippings on. This
cardboard can be purchased very cheaply in packages
of from twenty to fifty. They are much casier to hold
in one's hand, than a cumbrous scrapbook, and neater
looking.

Pictures and poctry may be utilized in the same way.

Advantageous Poultry Perches

For perches in the poultry house, get poles and sus-
end them from the roof with wire, not over two feet
rom the ground, or less if your fowls are heavy. Bind

together by two boards, (one at cach end,) with nails
driven through just to fit the poles, one on each side
of cach end of each pole. This leaves no place for
lice to gather that is not accessiblé to crude oil, which
is the best lice exterminator we have found. Clean
up the droppings each morning, and do not forget to
give the poultry lawn clippings, either green or dried.

Expeditious Corn Popping

In popping corn for a large number of people, a
quick and satisfactory way is to take a tablespoonful
of lard, place it in a deep kettle, (an iron one is prefer-
able,) set it over the fire, and let it get smoking hot;
then add a cupful or more of pop corn. Place a cover
on the kettle, and, when the corn starts to pop, stir it with
a large spoon, so that it will not burn, and soon you
will have a large kettle of corn which has taken only a
few minutes to prepare. Mrs. ROSE LAWBAUGH.

Limewater Used in Canning Tomatoes

When canning tomatoes, add three tablespoonfuls
of limewater to each quart while they are cooking.
With this precaution, you will never lose a can of
tomatoes. The limewater may be made very cheaply
at home by putting a lump of slacked lime, about the
size of a goose egg, in a quart jar, and filling the jar with
water. Stir this, and when the liquid has settled it
is ready for use. Water may be added until the lime
is all dissolved. Mrs. J. E. Gaunt.

А Соо4 Use for а Bellows

During a residence* in Ireland, I found the small
bellows to be had in every hardware store most useful
for blowing the dust out of tufted uphotttered furniture.

discovered that a bicycle pump makes an excellent
substitute. Mrs. Harriet W. ASHLEY.

Shrinking Lace and Embroidery

The writer has recently discovered a very simple
method of shrinking lace and embroidery, so much
of which is now used. Fold the material, lay it on a
plate in a steamer and let it steam half an hour. Re-
move, let it dry as folded, iron on the wrong side, and
vour lace or embroidery is as handsome as before, and,
— which is very desirable,—will not shrink away from
the goods. Mrs. Acusan L. WILEY.

Keeping lrish Potatoes іп Winter

When the potatoes are dry, put them away in a dry
cellar. Place first a layer of potatoes and sift over
them lightly air-slacked lime, then another layer of
potatoes and more lime until the bin is full.

This has proven a success in countries where it
was thought impossible to keep potatoes through the
winter. GERTRUDE MURPHY.

Shall We Give Presents
at Christmas?

А EOST of replies have been received to this question,

the majority in the affirmative. Those writing
on the negative side have made up in force, however,
for what they lacked in number. The answers re-
ceiving the prizes are printed below.

AFFIRMATIVE.—By M. H., Washington, D. C.

Common-sense Christmas giving is the charity cloak
that covers a year's remissness. Giving is “а generous
virtue of a vigorous kind." Liberality is the mani-
festation of sentiment: generosity is the measure of
sacrifice. The Christmas spirit is self-effacement,—
an enjoyment in consulting the tastes and happiness
of others.

“Christmas is a dour day," complained a testy old
Scotchman; “my family beggars me giving me things
I can't use, and I make mysel' poorer giving them
things thev do n't want." The doom of reciprocity!

Apes business system to Christmas-giving. Be
prodigal with time and profit by hints from the year;
give to the needy first; to friends afterwards. Be
generous, gracious, careful. Gifts must not savor of
silver. Let bounteousness and beneficence hold car-
nival! Give the shut-in a book; the artist a flower;
the invalid a visit; the craftsman tools; the distant
friend a bulky, breezy letter; the loved one something
worthy. Accompany each gift with a note, a rhyme,
or a generous encouraging word. Give according to

our strength and income. Give joyously, without
ope of reward.

Your delight will be boundless when the Christmas
spirit sings the anthem of self-sacrifice: “Іт Is MORE
BLESSED To Give THAN To RECEIVE.”

NEGATIV E.—By A. A. Boyee, Barre, Vermont

Judged by its results, the custom of making gifts at
Christmas should not exist. First, because the giving
has to be done at a particular time, which fact Pa a the
occasion of the spontaneity which should accompany
all gift-making.

Christmas comes during a season when living ex-
penses are high; therefore, with many, it is the most
difficult time in which to find money for a special pur-
pose. Many gifts are chiefly useful for the purpose of
proving to the recipients that they are remembered.

Because so many find it impossible to make their
list of presents so large as their circle of relatives and
friends, and because of the disappointment occasioned
by failure to receive presents expected, and also the
embarrassment EE, by receiving gifts from sources
where it has not been thought necessary, or been found
possible, to bestow them, a large iE of the pleasure
produced by Christmas giving is offset

Тһе exchange of letters, cards, or tokens of no money
value would be a good substitute for the present cus-
tom with its abuscs.

Weddings, special occasions, birthday and other
anniversaries furnish enough opportunity for gift-
making without the disagreeable features that make
Christmas giving a burden.

А Review of New Books
By H. ADDINGTON BRUCE

E autumn books include a number of biogra-
phies deserving sérious consideration. Aside from
"Thomas Wentworth Hi n's exceedingly inter-
esting volume of reminiscences. “Part of a Man's
luigi es ray sae Мана. & Co») these have to de
y with prominent historical person of other
days than ours. John Knox and the subject of so
much of his sermonizing—fair and frail с ақы Магу,-
аге once more discussed pro and con by zealous in-
vestigators, Professor Edward von Wertheimer has
рую us an interesting and careful account of the
ife and career of Napoleon's ill-fated son, “Тһе
Duke of Reichstadt.” (John Lane Company.) Pro-
fessor С. M. Wrong has produced in “Тһе Earl of
Elgin" (Methuen & Co.) the most satisfactory
biography yet written of England's distinguished
ro-consul. Christopher Hare's "Dante" (Charles
Erribner's Sons,) is a sympathetic, informative, and
readable portrayal of the author of the “Divina Com-
media.” Dr. Van Dyke, in "Renascence Portraits,"
(Charles Scribner's Sons,) deals mainly with Thomas
Cromwell, Maximilian I, and the Venetian /ittérateur,
Pietro Aretino, and in a way that enlarges our knowl-
edge both of the Renascence and of these three figures
who responded so keenly to its influence. With Pro-
fessor Dowden's “Montaigne, ”(). B. Lippincott Co.,)
а new series—'' French Men of Letters,"—is' well be-
. Augustine Birrell's “Andrew Marvell” (The
acmillan Company,) makes us better acquainted
with the personality and writings of this Parliamenta-
rian poet of seventeenth-century England. Clement
К. Shorter's “Charlotte Bronté," (Charles Scribner's
Sons,) if weak as a biography, contains much new
material that should be welcomed by all Bronté enthu-
siasts. Finally, in D. S. Margoliouth's “Mohammed,”
(G. P. Putnam's Sons,) we have a most startlingly
original “ Life” of the immortal founder of Islamism.

a ^

Mr. Margoliouth has, of course, availed himself of
the researches of Nóldeke, Wellhausen, Goldziher, and
other learned Orientalists, but he has also dipped
серу into works not commonly utilized as aids to the
elucidation of the Prophet's development and achieve-
ments,—I. W. Riley's “А Psychological Study of

oseph Smith, Jr.," James P. Beckwourth's astound-
ing facce En d and Frank Podmore's “ Modern
Spiritualism.” he influence of these is strikingly
manifest in his point of view. He has no hesitation
whatever in classing Mohammed, not only with the
founder of Mormonism, but also with such spiritual-
istic “mediums” as D. D. Home and the Reverend W.
Stainton Moses, and in grouping all as tricksters who
resorted to identically similar devices to further their
pretensions. То be sure, he grants Mohammed
credit for real statesmanship in the welding together
of the mutually jealous Arab tribes and the establish-
ment of a great empire, but insists that he, “while
regularly profiting by other men's scruples, allowed
no scruples to stand between him and success."
Clearly, the principal, the fatal objection to this pre-
sentation is that it necessitates the assumption that
Mohammed was on a plane, on the one hand, with
the operators of the darkened room, and, оп the
other, with such famous empire builders as Pitt and
Bismarck,—an unthinkable combination of mental
characteristics. Apart from this, Mr. Margoliouth's
book із of unquestionable value, and particularly to
the student of the migration and the conquest, the
facts concerning which are set forth lucidly and with
critical caution.
e ^ .

Books of an historical character continue to appear
in abundance. One that is quite out of the ordinary
is “Corporations: Their Origin and Development,"
(G. P. Putnam's Sons,) a two-volume work by the late

ohn P. Davis. Dr. Davis had planned to write a

istory which should cover the development of cor-
росе from the earliest to the latest times, but ill-

ealth prevented the completion of his task, and
what would probably have been the most interesting
portion—the study of the great business combinations
of to-day,—remains unwritten. Enough was finished,
however, to stamp the incomplete work a substantial
contribution to political science. Not only does it
exhibit, with an amazing wealth of detail, the evolu-
tion of the corporative movement in all the social
domains affected thereby, but it is also of the greatest
assistance in clarifying our ideas concerning the exact
nature, the usefulness, and the limitations of the cor-
ration. Another helpful addition to political
terature is a new volume in Dr. Dunning's “History
of Political Theories." (The Macmillan Company.)
In this the subject is carried from the sixteenth to the
middle of the eighteenth century; that is to say, from

the influence exercised on political thought by the

American history is represented by additional
volumes in “Тһе American Nation" series, (Harper
Brothers,) “Тһе History of North America," (George
Barrie & Sons,) and “А History of All Nations,”
(Lea Brothers & Co.,) and by a new volume of Wood-
bury Lowery’s, “Тһе Spanish Settlements within the
Present Limit; of the United States," (С. P. Put-
nam's Sons.) This covers the years 1562-1574, is
concerned solely with the settlements in South Caro-
lina and Florida, and is solidly based on original re-
scarch. Тһе main interest inevitably centers in the
doings and oscar of Menendez, the author of the
massacre of the Huguenot settlers at Fort Caroline,
and founder of the Spanish colony at St. Augustine. It
is pleading to find that Mr. Lowery takes a broad and
judicial stand, in no wise apologizing for the foul deed
perpetrated at Matanzas Inlet, but bringing into the
necessary relief the achiever cents so often neglected by
historians, but essential to a correct appreciation of
Menendez's character. Another striking fcature is the
deftness with which he guides the reader through the
labyrinth of the New World diplomacy of the courts
of Elizabeth, Philip, and Catherine de’ Medici. Curi-
ously enough, he attributes England's backwardness
in discovery and colonization to political causes chiefly,
thus losing all that goes with the truer view that the
principal factors were social and economic. His ex-
position of the mooted de Gourgues incident is also
rather unsatisfactory.

LJ ^

Another study from original sources, but one calling
for a far less favorable verdict, is Непгу Parker
Willis's “Our Philippine Problem." (Henry Holt &
Co.) Dr. Willis has long been of the belief that the
policy adopted by the United States in respect to
the Philippines is hopelessly wrong, and a journey
through the islands has convinced him that from al-
most every, if not from every standpoint, their affairs
are shockingly mismanaged. Healthy and helpful
criticism is one thing, but unrcasoning abuse is quite
another, and it is to be feared that his comments fall
under the latter category. When, for instance, in
discussing the control of public opinion through the
Philippine press, he remarks: “Іп some cases lucrative
emplovment has been given by the Commission to
пайхе journalists or to the owners of native news-
papers, seemingly to keep them quiet,” he makes but
one of many insinuations which thoughtful readers
must instantly reject as incompatable with the character
ofthemenentrusted by Presidents McKinley and Roose-
velt with the administration of the Philippines. His
apparent determination to see but one side of every
question is never more luminously illustrated than in the
arguments advanced in support of the contention that
the " ladrones” have native public opinion behind them.
“Тһе fact," he observes, "is unquestioned that the
natives in general will not com lain or testify, save
under practical compulsion, against those who have
in this way laid their property under contribution.
In other words the provincial population as а whole
is in strong sympathy with the ‘ladrone’ leaders.”
Another writer might suggest that reluctance ta tes-
Шу was due to a healthy dread of reprisals, but this
idea would seem not to have occurred to the author.
It can not be denied that there is room for criticism
of the administration of the Philippines, just as there
is room for criticism of the administration of all de-
pendencies, and some questions raised by Dr. Willis
demand immediate attention. But viewed in the
large, his book must be pronounced unfair.

In “Heretics,” (John Lane Company,) Gilbert K.
Chesterton undertakes to solve with his usual case and
dispatch no less momentous a problem than that in-
volved in the question whether or not the world is
growing better. Іп Mr. Chesterton's the reverse of
humble opinion, the world, instead of wing better,
is actually growing worse,—is, indeed, in a sorricr
plight than it was in the good old days when its inhabi-
tants systematically barbecued one another and vowed
that the carth was fiat. For then people had convic-
tions, and could and did gencralize freely; now they
wander in a maze of particulars and lose themselves
in negatives. Having delivered himself of which, Mr.
Chesterton proceeds to amble through two hundred-
odd pages of observations on an astonishing varicty of
topics, and with a discursiveness which none but Mr.
Chesterton would venture to affect. Some profess t»
find in these observations a defense of Christianity.
For mv part, I find in them nothing but Mr. Chesterton. ,
—at his bestorathis worst, whichever you prefer. There
is more than the usual gladsome irrelevance, reckless
irresponsibility, verbal pyrotechnics, and hysterical
paradox. Somebody has called Mr. Chesterton a
“smarty.” A gentleman who refuses to take himself

Mr. Chesterton refuses to take himself seriously.

Doctor Arthur Mahler's “Paintings of the Louvre:
Italian and Spanish" (Doubleday, Page & Co.) is a
combination guide book, and critical handbook that
should find a ready welcome, not only among all who
contemplate visiting that rich repository of art treasures,
but also among those desirous of making a stay-at-
home acquaintance with the work of some of the greatest
of the old masters. The author, or rather the authors,
for Charles Blacker and William A. Slater have collab-
orated with Doctor Mahler in the production of this
useful little book, have carefully avoided technical
terms that would perplex the uninitiated, and, without
adventuring far into criticism, have succceded in fixing
the salient quality of both the artists and their paintings.

Frank Wiborg is an American business man, who is |

convinced that the time has come for the United States
to cultivate closer trade relations with the Latin-
American republics to the south of us. This convic-
tion he voices emphatically in a book entitled “А Com-
mercial Traveller in South America," (McClure,
Phillips & Co.,) which is, in part, an account of a
recent journey made by the author to Peru, Chilc,
Argentina, and other South American countries, and,
in part, a handbook to the proper methods to be followed
in order to secure South Amcrican trade. As a book
of travel, it is, while ipy and pleasantly personal,
sadly unoriginal, adding practically nothing to our
knowledge of the region. But, in its second phase, it
may be cordially recommended, for it contains a num-
ber of practical suggestions which manufacturers hav-
ing, or projecting, relations with South American im-
porters might study to advantage.

Verse of more than ordinary merit is contained in
the collection which Charles J. Ваупе has brought
together under the title of “ Perdita and other Poems."
(Cole Book Company.) In the main these аге pocms
of love and youth, and are characterized by light-
hearted tunefulness, felicity of expression, and a world
of atmosphere. It would seem impossible for Mr.
Bayne to take other than a roseate view of life, and his
optimism, fortunately, is infectious. Wherefore, “ Per-
dita" should make many lasting friends.

Among the novels of the autumn, primacy must
undoubtedly be accorded to Mrs. Wharton’s “The
House of Mirth,” (Charles Scribner's Sons, ) that trench-
ant study which provoked so much discussion during
its appearance in serial form. In some respects dis-
appointing as a story, there can be no question that,
in the vitality and reality of its characters, and in its
description of the Vanity Fair of modern New York
society, it is altogether the most powerful piece of work
that Mrs. Wharton has done. Another strong study
is Mrs. Thurston’s “The Gambler,” (Harper & Bros.,)
which will, in all probability, rival in popularity its
immediate predecessor, “Тһе Masquerader.” As in
“The Masquerader," however, Mrs. Thurston has
paid a great deal more attention to plot than to work-
manship, and, from the artistic standpoint, “Тһе

Gambler” is open to criticism as crude and unpolished. ,

Nor can its tone be called wholesome, although in this
respect,— and, for that matter, in almost all respects,—
it is greatly ира to the Baroness von Hutten's
*He and Hecuba," (D. Appleton & Co.,)—a story
which might well have been left unwritten; and to
“The Trident and the Net,” (Harper & Bros.) by
the anonymous author of the “ Martyrdom of an Em-
press." “Тһе Trident and the Net" is a “first
novel," and is the more disappointing because of the
high expectations aroused by the beautiful word pic-
tures and the idealistic tone of its opening chapters.

How it could degenerate, as it ultimately does, into ,

a cheap, melodramatic and unhealthy production is а
mystery which must be left to the author to solvc.

. а

Іп refreshing contrast, we have Mr. Wells's “ Kipps."
(Charles Scribner's Sons.) When I say that * Kipps"
is closely akin to, and, іп some ways, better than “ Love
and Mr. Lewisham," readers familiar with Mr. Wells's
work will understand that here he reveals himself at
his best, as a humorist of high order, as a keen student
of, and sympathizer with, human nature, and as a
story-teller of rare ability. Other wholly delightful
stories are Harry Leon Wilson's “Тһе Boss of Little
Arcady,” (Lothrop Publishing Co.) A. T. Quiller-
Couch's “Тһе Mayor of Troy," (Charles Scribner's
Sons,) and Florence Morse Kingsley's “Тһе Resur-
rection of Miss Cynthia," (Dodd, Mead & Co.,) each
of which appeal to all who appreciate fine character-
ization and the sanely entertaining in fiction. Mr.
Wilson’s book is particularly forceful, abounding in
truths well uttered, and mirroring with fidelity the life
of the small mid-western town where is decided the
fate of his hero and heroine,—a winsome daughter of
the South with an even more sympathy-compelling
mother,

How Modern Methods Have
Improved a Standard Remedy

No one will dispute the curative value of cod liver oil. For centuries it has been
recognized as the grandest of all body-building agents for wasted human vitality.

Yet a great deal of the good that should have been derived from its use has been
prevented by the fact that many patients who were weakened by disease could not digest
the heavy oil, either in its raw form or in an emulsion, and others would not take it on
account of its disagreeable odor and taste.

Now modern science has proved that the oil or greasy part has no value whatever
either as a medicine or food, and really does harm by clogging up the system.

It appears that the medicinal elements, of which there are about fifty different kinds
found in the cod's liver, represent all the
tonic, body-building and curative powers
of this famous old remedy.

After twenty years' study two eminent
French chemists, Mourgues and Gauticr
by name, discovered a way to separate these
medicinal elements from the oil, and gave
to modern medicine all the valuable part of
cod liver oil, unencumbered by the useless,
oily, greasy part.

A preparation containing all these medi-
cinal elements, but entirely free from oil
or grease, therefore must be the best tonic
reconstructor possible. Such is Vinol,

THE
COD LIVER
PREPARATION

In no way does Vinol resemble cod liver
oil, It docs not look, nor smell, nor taste
like cod liver oil.

WITHOUT
Yet Vinolis guaranteed to contain іп а highly con-
OIL centrated form al! the medicinal been e qi erit
taken from fresh cods' livers, with organic fron and
other body-bullding ingredients, in m deliciously
palatable and easily digested form.

In every case where old-fashioned cod liver oil or emulsions would do good, Vinol
will do more good, for it is immediately assimilated and is acceptable to the weakest
stomach ; for this reason it is fast superseding old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions,

The elaborate process employed to separate the medicinal, curative elements from the
cods’ livers, omitting the oil entirely, is the only secret about Vinol. Its simplicity is
its grandest feature, being absolutely free from drugs and injurious ingredients. It is
not a patent medicine, as everything in it is named on the label.

Vinol for the last seven years has been sold by the leading druggists in all the principal
cities of the country, and in most of these stores its sales have equalled, or more, the
combined sales of all other cod liver oil preparations, which goes to prove its superi-
ority. Аз a body-builder and strength creator for old people, weak women, puny
children, and after sickness, and for all pulmonary diseases, it is guaranteed by over
two thousand of the leading druggists of the country to be the best they ever sold,

Exploring the Aerial Ocean

With Balloons and Kites a Great Work Is Being Dose із
Scarching the Mysteries of the Upper Air

QE of the most promising of the new lines of

scientific research, which may have great practi-
cal value for mankind, is the exploration of the upper
air now being conducted simultaneously in America
and Europe, and which, as soon as proper arrangements
can be made, will be undertaken over the Atlantic and
the Pacific.

At first sight it may seem that such exploration is
needless, since the atmosphere is so transparent that
we can look direcily through it except when it is filled
with clouds. One might be tempted to say that it
would be as reasonable to talk of “exploring” a room
with glass sides, through which the eye could range in
every direction without detecting anything. Never-
theless, it is a fact that the transparent spell of atmos-

here enveloping the earth is full of secrets which require
investigation because of their connection with the
climate and the weather, and which can not be properly
investigated unless man can manage either to ascend,
himself, several miles above the ground, or to send up
Ee p. instruments to make observations for
im.

"These discoveries, and others like them, are adually
bringing about a revolution in the science of meteor-
ology, the end of which will probably see the art of
forecasting the weather brought to a degree of perfection
not to be thought of at the present time. Тһе laws
governing storms and cyclones, once regarded as fixed
and certain, are being upset and reformed in the light
of the knowledge, now attainable, of what occurs fram
five to ten miles above our heads.

The study of clouds, their forms, their origin,
their diverse nature, and their motions is now prose-
cuted with the aid of photography, which has made
almost as many revelations in this field as it has in
astronomy. But the work of real aërial exploration is
done with the aid of kites and free balloons. One who
has not kept track of recent progress in this direction
would be amazed if he could catch a bird's-eye view of
the atmosphere above the United States and the leading
European nations on any day that the weather condi-
tions are suitable for sending up the mechanical scouts
which science now employs.

The elevations occasionally attained by balloons
charged with self-recording instruments, which bring
back trustworthy information about temperatures,
degrees of humidity, electrical conditions, and the
density of the air at various heights above the ground,
are simply astonishing. Recently such a balloon sent
up from Strasburg reached an altitude of more than
fifteen miles, or three times the height of the loftiest
mountain in the world! Another, sent up in Russia,
rose more than twelve miles aboye the earth, while
elevations of seven or eight miles are quite common.

Is the Sun Shooting at Us?

Certain Magactic Disturbances on the Earth May Be
Caused by as Electrical Bombardment

Д мохс the many attempts to account for the ap-

parent connection between spots on the sun and
magnetic disturbances on the earth none is more inter-
esting than the theory recently developed by E. Walter
Maunder, a well-known English astronomer. His idea
is that our planet is occasionally subjected to a bom-
bardment with electrified particles shot forth with tre-
mendous velocity from certain centers of activity on
the sun, which might be likcned to so many batteries
of machine guns arging streams of projectiles into
surrounding space. Ав the particles strike our atmos-
phere they set up magnetic disturbances, which are
sometimes sufficiently violent to put the telegraph and
cable lines out of commission over half the earth. It is
believed by many that these disturbances also have an
important influence over the character of the weather,
although the precise nature of this influence has not
yet been determined.

One of the most remarkable results of Mr. Maunder's
investigation is the showing that there are particular
places on the sun where the explosive forces seem to
concentrate, and from which the streams of electrified
particles are shot forth in radial lines. A stream of
this kind may or may not strike the earth, according
to the position of the latter at the time when the ех-
plosion occurs. But, even if it misses, it may uce
a magnetic disturbance by induction, and Mr. Maunder
suggests that the “characteristic sharp twitch” of the
magnetic needle, which occurs instantaneously over the

whole earth at the beginning of a great magnetic storm,
may be regarded as denoting an actual collision with
the solar stream line, while the more sluggish disturb-
ances observed at other times indicate that thc stream
is passing either above or below the earth.

t has also been observed that the supposed pro-
jectile streams from the sun continue for long periods,
and, as the sun revolves on its axis like a rotating turret,
the streams sweep round with it, encountering the
earth again and again once in every twenty-seven days,
which is the mean synodic period of the sun's rotation
in the latitudes where the greatest spots break out.
During total eclipses vast beams are visible about the
sun like the searchlights of a battleship, and Mr.
Maunder thinks that these indicate the stream lines
of the projected particles.
straight away from the sun in radial lines, and somc-
times thcy appear to be almost tangential to the sun's
edge. Upon the whole they show a tendency to con-
centrate toward the plane of the solar equator, and
this has the effect of bringing the earth more within
the average line of fire, since the earth's orbit is so
situated that our planet passes alternately above and
below the solar equator.

As to the sunspots themselves, it is evident that,
while they generally accompany the outbreak of a
агаа stream, yet the activity of the latter begins

fore any spots appear and may continue after the
spots have vanished, so that the latter can only be
regarded as visible symptoms of the disturbance on the
sun, but not 1s active causes of it. They may thus be
said to resemole the smoke that gathers about a battery
of artillery in action.

Imitating Nature's Best

The Rarest of Gems Is in Danger of Being Cheapeacd by
the Achicvements of the Chemist

HE most costly of all precious stones, and conse-
quently, from the standpoint of human valuation,
Nature's masterpiece in jewel making, is a perfect ruby.
When of the largest size, such a gem is ten times morc
valuable than a “first water” diamond of equal weight.
It is not surprising, therefore, that chemists have long
been seeking a way to make artificial rubies that might
pan for natural stones. Lately notable progress has
n achieved in this direction, although the owners of
rare specimens of the genuine oriental ruby have as
vet no reason to fear a collapse in the market value
of their jewels. But the fact that science can now
make a ruby ing all the qualities and beauties
of the natural gem is, in itself, highly interesting.

At first sight it would seem not very difficult for a
chemist, commanding the immense resources of a
modern laboratory, to turn out a ruby, which is nothing
in the world but a bit of crystallized oxide of aluminum.
Тһе metal aluminum has long ceased to have anything
mysterious about it. But nature practices many queer
tricks and turns of the hand, aol none more difficult
to detect and follow than those she employs when im-
prisoning the spirit of pure beauty in a rare crystal.

Many years ago Gaudin, a French chemist, by
fusing various mixtures of alum obtained little globules

ing the composition of the ruby. In 1886,
Charles Friedel made similar imitations of the gem, of
little value. Some imitations made by a secret process
were put upon the market under the name of * Geneva
rubies.” Nobody would have a “Geneva ruby” who
could afford a genuine one. Lately M. A. Verneuil,
another well-known French chemist, has improved
the process so far that the gems produced by him are
as large as a quarter of a karat in weight, and can not
be distinguished by their chemical, physical, ог optical
properties from natural rubies. These artificial stones
are often more clearly transparent than the products
of nature, which are very seldom perfect in that respect.
Verneuil’s rubies are full of bubbles and imperfections
however, whenever they exceed the very narrow limit
of size mentioned above.

The home of the most perfect rubies in the world is
Burma; except for the temporar жете of some-
body's ket, nothing would gained by trans-
ferring it to Paris. But science is as indifferent to
consequences as Nature herself, and no doubt, if she
can succeed in making a en as large and beautiful
as the superb ruby that glitters in the crown of King
Edward, she will not stay her hand simply because the
queen of gems may be dethroned.

He Wasn't Afraid to Try

C W. RAYMOND, chief justice of the United States court

of appeals of Indian Territory, was a factory hand at
Onarga. Thinois. at ninety cents a day, twenty-five years
ago. He resolved to become a lawyer, and made appli-
cation to Henry A. Butzow, the county clerk of his county,
for employment. Тһе clerk wrote him that at that time
he did not need any further assistance, but that the future
might bring a demand for additional help. He closed
his letter as follows: ''Our work is adding, adding, add-
ing, all day long. Did you ever try it?"

Foun Raymond was equal to the occasion, and answered
the clerk on a postal card as follows: “Мо, I have never
tried adding, adding. adding, all day long, but I can try,
try, try, and T won't fail.”

Useful and Pretty Christmas Gifts, by Mary Le Mont

A HOMEMADE Christmas gift is always regarded with
a pleasure and feeling of sentiment which a gift
procured in а shop rarely ever imparts, and
avd as one is not always in a place where dainty

| Christmas gifts can be readily purchased, the practice

5,

of making souvenirs of remembrance and affection for
the holiday season is one never likely to be abandoned.

People like practical gifts. A pretty little practical gift,
accompanied by an inexpensive card, often gives more
enjoyment to the recipient than an expensive present.

Now that women wear hat pins to suit nearly every
hat and gown, the question of holders for them becomes
interesting. Long narrow bottles, such as can be had
at drug stores, make good holders. These are covered
and trimmed with ribbon and hung beside the mirror.
Some have a crocheted cover with the top very round
and fulltosimulatean open
flower; others have two
strips of lace sewed to-
gether, and beading run
through the sides with
baby ribbon rosettes and

ered with fancy silk ribbon
fringed at the top, and tied
so as to make a decorative
upper portion. Fancy will
suggest many pretty ways
of trimming these bottles,
or of decorating deep, nar-
row tin cans or jars, which
will serve the same pur-
s, if weighted in the
ttom, covered with lace
across the top, and placed
on the dressing table.
Pasteboard and wood also
form these decorative hat-
pin jars.

shows a dainty cover in
which Honiton braid has
been sewedin a lattice over
a muslin piece and coarse embroidery silk made in
spiderwebs inside each square of the lattice. The
ruffle of lace is over one of pink silk,—with which the
cushion is covered,—and the silk ruffle has pinked edges.

An extremely useful gift, now that practically all
underwear is run through with ribbons, is a book of
baby ribbon, with scissors and bodkins attached. The
book is made of a long strip of wide, flowered sash
ribbon with one side folded over for about three inches
upon the wider portion. This folded edge is feather-
stitched to the other at intervals of over three inches,
forming five or six pockets
into which are tucked flat
cards wrapped around with

ink and white satin rib-
bor Enough space is left
between the ets to en-
able one to fold over the
ribbon into a book. A
narrow ribbon ties it to-

ther on the outside, and

rom a bow in one corner

hangs a pair of little scis-
sors, while into small rib-
bon straps are run two
sizes of bodkins, tied to the
case by little ends and
bows of ribbon,

A pretty holder for bod-
kins is made of a roll of
cotton as long and not as
wide as one's middle
finger. This is covered
with ribbon, rippled at
each end and tied with
baby ribbons and bows.
Across each side of the
little roll are long herring-
bone stitches, in coarse embroidery silk, and a bodkin
is run through these stitches on each side of the dainty
holder. This is hung in the work basket or beside the
dressing table. -

The use of baby ribbon is so universal that rolls of it
are a necessity, and one very pretty way in which to
keep these is shown in Figure 19. Two double circles
of cardboard are padded in between and covered with
fancy silk. Pins are stuck in the edges. A hole in
the center allows a ribbon to be run through, and this

through the center of two rolls of baby ribbon,—
white and blue,—and ties in bows outside the covers.

of ribbon on one cover keep in place two sizes of bodkins.

А charming little spool-case for a traveler or a woman
who attends sewing societies is made of two double
hexagonal pieces of cardboard. Each of the six sides
is a біне longer than a spool of silk. Six spools are
laced between the pieces, which are prettily covered.
As these are double. pins are run around the edges,
thus forming a pincushion of each cover, while an extra
cover is sewed to the top with a bow and can be lifted,
disclosing leaves of flannel for needles underneath.
On the outside, the ribbon used for lacing in the spools
holds down bodkins of different sizes, so that although
simple and easily made, this housewife is very compact
and complete.

The book of pins, an ever-present necessity upon a
dressing table, is made a thing of beauty by means of
the dainty holders now made for them. "Two card-
board leaves, a bit larger than the pin book, are covered
with ribbon, which is laid in plaits along the outer side.
Тһе corners are finished with rosettes, and a ribbon is
arranged with which to hang up the book. This pretty
thing must match the color scheme of the dressing table
and is quite an addition to its prettiness.

Scarís and shawls will be so much worn this winter
that a gift of one of these is always acceptable. Crinkled
silk, in lovely stripes of color, or of white and gold, can
be purchased and the ends finished with a fringe or
border for a scarf. Cashmere can be treated in the
same fashion and crepe de Chine may be trimmed with
а deep knotted fringe. Light-weight wools crochet and
knit up into charming and useful scarís, and silk, too,
is employed in that fashion this season. Now that
knitting and crocheting are in vogue again, one need
not be at a loss for some article which can be made at
home to brighten the Christmas of a friend.

The Accessories of the Fashionable

By MARTHA DEAN HALLAM

А 871575 tell us that perfection is attained by accuracy

of detail, and we everyday people know that it is
the little things which make up the happiness or misery
of human life. As these almost invisible trifles play
such an important part in the final whole, so the in-
numerable accessories of woman's wear give her ap-
pearance the proper style and completeness. Let the

feminine individuality. There is no end of thesc little
things in the way of collars, cuffs, undersleeves, chemi-
settes, guimpes, belts, and flowing scarfs which are dis-
tinctly a part of the scason's modes, and yet not so
extravagant as to be beyond the ability of the woman

feature of miladi's gowning is

charming
found in the broad collars of fanciful design made from
the sheerest of mull, Swiss, or batiste, and daintily
embroidered or beautified with insertion and edging
of lace. Such a collar may be worn with any waist
of sufficient simplicity to allow of more adornment,
and completely transforms a simple silk shirt-waist

into a dressy waist for after-
noons. These collars put
vast ibilities in the way
of the woman who can
afford but few clothes, as
they are very adorning,
easily made and a joy to
clean. 'The one sketched is
made of a sheer Swiss, with

are serviceable not only as

an attractive feature of a new gown, but also as a magic
rejuvenator of the frock whose newness is somewhat

worn off.

Fine linen, batiste, or mull may serve as

material These little cuffs are far newer than the frill
of lace, which is taking its departure as quickly and

quietly as grace will permit.

Another exquisite newcomer is the jabot of lace,
which has been trying for some time to gain favor with
that most fickle old lady, Dame Grundy. It comes
with the lace chou which adorns the elbow sleeve, the
ES scarfs to be draped gracefully low about the
shoulders, the cascade trimmings for waist and skirt,
and a host of others closely allied in effect.

A Word on Housekceping Allowances

|8 THE НАВІТ of giving a housekeeping allowance to
а woman growing or decreasing? The only way in
which a woman can keep house, with any justice to her-
self or to her husband, is by knowing exactly what she
can spend each week. It is impossible to dictate a
fixed amount, as & matter of course, not only because
prices vary in different towns and states, but because
circumstances do so much to alter cases. In one house-
hold there is no way of supplementing the household
allowances. Another family has a px which sup-
lies summer vegetables, and even a few winter supplies.
з ра dozen и ас а difference in ме ant
e or eggs an ultry, or a cow reduces the
milk and butter bill. ый
All these things must be considered in determining
the sum that may be devoted to housekeeping; but,
when once it is settled upon, the wife may put up a
petition that it shall be promptly paid. Тһе man who
would scorn to keep his bookkeeper or clerk waiting
for his salarv, will often commit the wife of his bosom
to much begging before he will find it convenient to
hand her the allowance he has promised her for house-
keeping. I have heard there were women who did not
mind asking their husbands for money; but I have never
met one. Even if a man can not understand this
eccentricity of the sex he is willing to concede is the
weaker, may he not consider her prejudices and spare
her what the poor creature finds a trial? А man does
not like to dun a just creditor, and there are still women
who have a lingering sensation that they are their hus-
bands' beneficiaries. А promptly paid allowance is an
easily granted comfort.

His Choice

MISSIONARY calling at a lawyer's residence was
interested in the repartee of the four-year-old
son of the house.
“When you grow up,” said the missionary, “аге you
going to be a lawyer, like papa?”
“Мо,” the child answered promptly.
"How would you like to be a doctor, like Uncle
John?"
“I would n't like it," answered the little one.
"How would you like to be a missionary like me,
and work for God?"
' I'd rather be God," answered the child decidedly.

Once in a while, a bit of slang is so expressive that
it becomes incorporated into the language as an allow-
able idiom. One of the most striking of these is
"making good." It has come to have not simply a
general, but a specific, meaning. It illustrates the idea
of competition; it indicates that under intense modern
methods it is only he who succeeds that can, in the long
run, win recognition. Recommendations, testimonials,
requests from eminent men, all fall before the stern
decree that you must “ таке good.”

Wanted.—A Desperado

By FREDERICK UPHAM ADAMS
[Concluded from page 812)

was my old friend, the clerk of the post office.

** «There is a letter in the office for you, Mr.
Black,' he said, polite as if I had never shown
him any antagonism, I looked blankly at him,
and then tore down the street. There was a
young lady at the window, and a row of people
was standing in line. I thought my turn would
never come, but it did, and I recognized her
handwriting before that letter was in my hand.
I walked out into the street, the letter still un-
opened. It was minutes before I could summon
up the nerve to break the seal of that white
envelope. Jack was watching me, but he never
said a word, We walked over to a hotel and I
sat in a chair in front of it, Jack making some
excuse so as to leave me alone.

“Inside the hotel some one was playing on a
melodeon, and I can almost hear it now as the
notes of ‘The vilest sinner may return’ came to
my ears. There was something helpful and
hopeful in the old tune, and I opened that letter.
I know every word of it by heart, and this is the
way it started: ‘My dearest William: your
letter has made me the happiest girl in New
England. Sweetheart, I knew you better than
you did yourself; I knew that the man in you
would triumph in the end, and I bless God that
He has given you the victory.’

“She went on to say some things I need not
repeat, but they were the things which lift a
man as near to heaven as he can hope to get
while on this earth. She explained that she had
been away on a visit, and that she had only just
received my letter, and she closed by saying that
any time I was ready to send for her she was
ready to come.

“Jack loaned me five hundred dollars, and
three weeks later she met me in Cheyenne and
we were married, Jack actingas best man. And
that 's how Jack and I became business partners,
and we have never been sorry for it.”

“Not for one minute," said Roberts.

Stamina versus Bluff
By Strickland W. Gillilan

Once I knew a brilliant laddie,—you have known
the very kind,—
| Who began at such a pace he left the other lads
behind;
| Problems he could solve instanter made us others
groan and sweat,

And in envy he was labeled, “teacher’s precious
little рег”

But, in later life, the figure that he cut was sad to
sec,

For he soon was far to rearward c'en of stupid you
and me.

"Т seemed the talents we had envied lacked the
lasting sort of stuff,

| And he did n't have the stamina to follow up his
bluff.

| Brilliant starts are far more common than a
brilliant finish is;

Rockets roar,—the falling handles make a faint
and feeble fizz;

Deer, when flushed, do feats of running that would |
take a fellow's breath,

Yet the man who knows his quarry simply walks
the deer to death.

Pluck and never-ending courage are the things that
help us most,

And the winner's oft the one who did n't waste his
breath to boast.

Plod and pray, but plod while praying, be the road-
way smooth or rough;

Thus vou cultivate the stamina to follow up your
bluff.

these doors that decency is lost forever. These boys
know the Tenderloin as a country boy knows the home
pasture; presents and bribes put them on friendly terms
with its easy-going inhabitants, and it is a common
saying that "a messenger will do anything on earth for
fifty cents." There are two thousand messenger and
telegraph boys employed by the Western Union Tele-
graph Company in New York City, and that uniform is
a brand,—the brand of a loafer, a grafter, a moral im-
becile. There are good boys in the two thousand, and
all honor to them! but, if you are trying to get a boy a
position, do n't, out of your mistaken kindness, set him
running about the streets of New York on the errands
of anyone who has the money to pay.

We can not do without newsboys and messengers?
That is always the first cry, at any pro change. A
few years ago the New York streets were full of little
bootblacks with their boxes, and we supposed we could
not do without those. Then the bootblacking stand, in
charge of a man, crowded out the smal! boy, and the
incessant “Shine, sir?" is heard no more. А few boys
will be found in the public squares; but the business, as
a whole, is put on a regular, organized basis, and no one
feels any lack. In the same way the news stand may, in
time, force the small boy back into the childhood he is
so ready to give up. No change is effected without
some suffering; but the world's experience says that it
is not good, economically or morally, for children to be
financially independent, and the good of the whole
matters more than the struggles of the few. The cases
where their help is invaluable to the home are scarce
beside the corrupt lives and ruined morals of the chil-
dren of the street. As for how the messengers are to
be replaced, a doctor who labors among the West Side
por has suggested that their work is best suited to

eeble-minded men,—"'and I can supply all they need,”

headds, Grown men would not be subject to the same
dangers and temptations, and it does seem probable
that New York could furnish two thousand whose in-
tellects were not above the work. But, no matter who
carries the messages or whether they are carried at all,
it must be the earnest wish of everyone who has come
close to this subject to liberate the growing boys.

It is true that the millionaire says in his heart, “І
went to work at seven, I had little or no schooling, I
passed through the temptations of the street, and look
at me now! It’s all nonsense, this fuss about child
labor." But the millionaire forgets the hosts of boys
who went to work when he did, and have not been heard
of since,—at least, not to their credit, and he does not
realize the vast changes that the past forty or fifty years
have made in our civilization. Тһе newsboy of to-day
has far less chance to become the magnate of to-morrow
than he had a generation or two ago, before the inrush
of foreigners changed the character of the street and
crowded back the individual. What was “good enough"
for the poor boy of the past is not good enough for the
poor boy of to-day, if he is to be of value to the future.

What we need—citizens and parents both,—is а
better conception of what a child is for. The prema-
ture use of the child is, inevitably, the abuse of the
citizen. Just as a plain business proposition, a parent
could get far more out of his child by giving it a chance
for normal development first than he an by forcing it
into wage-earning. Those who can not wait for this

riod must Бе helped in other ways: studious children
in New York have bcen given scholarships, equivalent
to what thcy would earn in a factory, that they might
continue in school,—as wise and harmless a mode of
help as could be devised. Those who will not wait
should be compelled to by law,—the enforcing of the
laws that exist, and, when that is accomplished, but not
before, the gradual making of new laws. It is not
sentimentality, this сту of ‘Free the children!" that is
heard more clearly with every year; it is the command
of sanity, refusing to sce the children used up and
thrown aside before their real hour has come.

[The above is the first іп a series of two articies which
Juliet Wilbor Tompkins has written specially for SUCCESS
MAGAZINE. The second article will appear in our Janu-
ary issue, —CTHE EDITOR.)

Is the Universe Infinite?

Ts question, which has been asked and answered

many times, is decided by Prof. Simon Newcomb
in favor of the view that the group of bodies that we
view from our earth is limited in extent. He even
believes that it is not a rash attempt to estimate the
size of the group, and states his own belief that its
boundary is about two hundred million times as far
from us as the sun is,—a distance over which light
would be about three thousand, three hundred years in
traveling. Possibly, however, the group may be much
larger than this, and its border, he thinks may be,
perhaps, twice as far distant. That there are as many
more of its stars outside the limits of vision as there
are within it, he thinks probable; but these invisible

The Romance of News-
gathering

By REMSEN CRAWFORD
(Concluded from page 807]

the history of American journalism came about

when the world was shocked by the eruption of |

Mont Pelee. There came a bulletin to the As-
sociated Press that the eruption was in prog-
ress, and that thousands had been scalded by
the boiling lava or drowned in the sea. Any
newspaper man knows what such a bulletin
means when it strikes the desk of the night
editor of a great daily. А mere flimsy little
strip of paper, with about ten lines of type-
written ''stuff," it scatters consternation and
excitement like a bombshell on the hurricane
deck of a giant vessel. Instantly, the night
editor is out of his chair, with about a dozen
reporters and office boys around him, spread-
ing out maps, studying railroad or steamship
schedules, figuring the quickest possible way to
get reporters on the scene of the catastrophe.

We must take it for granted that this electrical
strip of paper reached the “Herald” and the
“World” about the same time, as it went out
from the Associated Press simultaneously to all
the New York papers. Before the night editor
of the ‘‘ World" went home, that night, arrange-
ments had been perfected to send Louis Sei-
bold, the correspondent, a photographer, a
stenographer, and a sketch artist on the first
boat for Porto Rico, this being the route to the
scene of the catastrophe. When the ship sailed
for San Juan, next day, Seibold and his little
ссетіс were aboard. Не was congratulating
himself upon having found a way to get at
least as far as Porto Rico on the way, ahead of
all others, when, looking around, he saw Ham-
Шоп Pells, of the “Herald,” a foeman worthy
of his steel; and Pells also hada photographer,
a sketch artist,and one or two assistants. Now
we have them starting on a race for news on
the same ship. This ship only goes as far as
Porto Rico. Absolutely nothing is known about
the facilities for getting from Porto Rico to
Mont Pelee, and the two correspondents are
leaping into perfect darkness, with instructions
to await orders at San Juan.

Meanwhile, James Gordon Bennett cabled
the “Herald” to send а large ocean-going tug
from Norfolk, stocked with provisions, medi-
cines, and clothing, and to dispatch aboard her
several surgeons and reporters. The tug was to
make a hurried trip to San Juan, there pick up
Pells, who was to have charge of the entire mis-
sion, and hasten directly to Mont Pelee. Of
course, this was kept secret in the “Herald”
office, and the “World” men knew nothing
about it. But Joseph Pulitzer, wherever he

was at the time, had been advised of the affair, |

and was told that Seibold was on his way to

Porto Rico. Mr. Pulitzer acts like lightning. |

No sooner had he received word of the situa-
tion than he cabled the United States author-
ities at San Juan to charter a steamer at any

cost and send it out to meet the vessel on which :

Seibold was traveling. The plan was to take
Seibold off beforehe ever reached San Juan, and
hurry him on to Mont Pelee. This plan worked
admirably, not a hitch interfering with the pro-
gramme. Тһе steamship “ Longfellow,” with a
crew of thirty-one, was chartered at a cost of
many thousand dollars, and Seibold stepped
from the liner to his own ship, in the harbor
of San Juan, and proceeded under full steam
toward the scene of the holocaust. Pells awaited
his tug at San Juan, and then went on. After
Seibold had been ashore and visited the scenes
of devastation, his photographer taking pictures
everywhere, for a whole day, and was about to
` proceed to the nearest cable station, the ‘‘ Her-
ald” man arrived. This race was significant,
because it brought into a contest Bennett and

Pulitzer, veritable kings of modern journalism.

The conclusion should not be drawn that
reporters are always in clover like this, or that
they usually succeed half so well as the incidents
recounted show in these particular events.
There аге a great many failures, a great many
tedious sowings without reaping, and a great
deal of time and energy wasted. Nothing could
serve to illustrate this phase of reporting better
than the fruitless search made іп Canada for
Martin Thorne, the suspect in the Gulden-
suppe murder case. The New York “Journal”
learned from its correspondent in Montreal
that the police of that city had captured a man
who answered in every particular the descrip-
tions of Martin Thorne. Immediately, Walter
Howard, one of the most energetic reporters,
who scored a ''beat" with his report of the
naval battle at Santiago, and who literally
worked himself to death, a few years later, was
put on the train with а barber who knew
"Thorne, and sent hurrying to Montreal to make
the identification. Arthur Greaves, now city ed-
itor of the New York “Times,” was sent to
Montreal on the same tip, but was discouraged
at the thought that he had slim chance of
making the identification." He had never Seen
Thorne and didn’t know him from Adam's
house cat. At the Grand Central Station he
passed a comrade, who whispered, “І ’ve just
seen Howard, of the ‘Journal,’ with a barber,

going to identify that Canada man." That was |

enough for Greaves. He was determined that,
if Howard’s man should identify the prisoner,
he would get the benefit of it. He telegraphed
his paper, from the train, at some way sta-
tion, to wire its Montreal correspondent to
have the chief of police meet the train and
take charge of the barber’s plan of identifi-
cation. Meanwhile, the “ Journal" had wired
its Montreal correspondent to get the police to
have the identification private, so that the ‘‘ Jour-
nal” might have the credit of making it posi-
tive. When the train arrived at Montreal, two
rival reporters and a barber alighted and con-
fronted two rival local correspondents and half
the police force of the town, all ready for a free-
for-all fight.
not Thorne at all, and all this time and money
and energy and anger might have been spared.

It turned out that the man was |

Тһе original and бопа fide Sherlock Holmes |

of newspaperdom is Isaac D. White, known to
criminals, to police, to detectives, to society
people, and to millionaires as “Ike” White.
Тһе story of how he took а button from the
clothing of the man who threw the bomb at
Russell Sage, traced it to its manufacturer and
the clothing merchant, and finally identified the
bomb-thrower as Norcross, is known wherever
the feats of reporters have been narrated.

With unrelenting, merciless probing, White has ; · ed, «

many a time put to shame the efforts of the
shrewdest detectives in running down murder
cases. But some of his best work has been done
in rescuing captives from oyster pirates on Ches-
apeake Bay, and bringing back from Yucatan
dozens of men who were shanghaied aboard
steamers and taken there in practical slavery,
The Yucatan affair was particularly interesting.
White learned thata man named Fitzgerald,
better known along the water front of New York
City as “Liverpool |Jack,” had been sending
laborers off to Yucatan. He would give them
glowing descriptions of the country, tell them
how delightful was the climate, how they could
sleep under the cooling palm trees most of the
day and only work in the cool of the evening,
and in other ways make them believe they were
going to a land of enchantment. When they |
arrived at Yucatan, they were put in practical |
slavery and made to work about the piers with
little or no pay. Many of them starved to
death, others died of fever, and White arrived
on the scene in time to secure the release of forty
or fifty of them, whom he brought back with him
to New York. He was himself arrested by the
Pooh-Bah of the town, but was let ut on ya-

role through the instrumentality of the Ameri-
can consul in Merida.

Richard Harding Davis turned some clever
tricks as a detective-reporter, when he was
younger. While he was working on a Phila-
delphia paper, he disguised himself as a burg-
lar and went to live with thieves for a time.
He pretended that he was a “second-story
man” from New York, whom Superintendent
Thomas Byrnes, then of the Central Office,
would be glad to make a captive, and managed
to make the burglars believe it. After he had
been taken into their counsel, he caused the
arrest of eight of them, five of whom were con-
victed. Subsequently, while Davis was sitting in
his father's house, “all dressed up," one of the
burglars entered. He thrust out his hand to
greet Davis, and congratulated him upon what
he called his ‘‘make-up,” still believing him to
be a burglar who had entered the house with

fine clothes on,—a gentleman burglar, so to |

speak. This visitor had entered the Davis house
to steal something; but, of course, that was im-
possible when he unexpectedly met Davis in his
own home. Mr. Davis politely bade the burg-
lar good-by, and made no attempt to arrest his
former “pal” and chum.

Friend-making is one of the essentials of good
reporting, and Arthur Brisbane, now chief edi-
torial writer for William К. Hearst, had this art
to perfection. "While he was London corre-
spondent of the New York “Sun,” he won the
friendship of John L. Sullivan so completely that
the latter refused absolutely to box before the
Prince of Wales, unless Brisbane, whom he
called “ту friend," was admitted also to the
presence of his royal highness. In this way,
Brisbane scored a signal “beat” on all other
pus by reporting the prize fight that had

n arranged specially for the prince.

Enterprise and originality meet quicker re-
wards in the newspaper business, perhaps, than
іп any other line of work. William C. Reick,
who is now president of the New York Her-
ald Publishing Company, and who holds his
hand on the pulse of its great American news-
paper without taking active power in the mak-
ing of it, was once a reporter on a small
páper in Newark, New Jersey. He sent the
“Herald” every day all the neighborhood news
of the New Jersey city, and occasionally wrote
a special “Sunday story,” and in this way man-
aged to make a living. One day a mad dog
terrif&ed Newark and bit seven or eight little
children. Reick wrote several articles about the
affair, and became so interested that he raised
a fund to send the children to Paris to be treated
at the Pasteur Institute. This attracted the
attention of James Gordon Bennett, owner of
the "Herald," and he immediately sent for
Reick to come to New York and take a respon-
sible place on his staff.

No other reportorial feat of modern times
has attracted such widespread comment as Karl
Decker's rescue of Seziorita Evangelina Cisneros
from a Spanish prison in Cuba.. The girl's
father had been made a political prisoner on
the Isle of Pines. Тһе governor of the island
forced his attentions upon the young woman in
à way that caused several Cubans to deal with
him rather roughly. Не reported to General
Weyler, the Spanish ruler of Cuba, that the girl
had caused the trouble, and she was ordered to
be imprisoned at Havana. Тһе case attracted
the attention of the civilized world. The mother
of President McKinley and many other Amer-
ican women sent a petition to the queen of
Spain for the girl's freedom. She was, never-
theless, held captive until Karl Decker was sent
to Cuba for the New York “American” to rescue
her. He rented a house close to the prison and
employed three men to help him. They worked
two nights with a file and finally sawed away
the bars of the prison, took the girl from the
cell, and put her aboard aship bound for New
York. Two days later Decker made his escapa
from Havana while Spanish spies and police-

men were eagerly looking for him all over Cuba.

Cleveland Moffett won a place on the Euro-
pean staff of the New York “Herald,” and а
big reputation at the same time, by a series of
remarkable exploits.

Не was only twenty-three, running around
Paris, getting interviews for a newspaper syn-
dicate. One day the Emperor of Brazil gave
a reception to the members of the French
Academy. Moffett saw the crowd, inquired
the cause, and decided that he would attend.
He was promptly “thrown өш” by the flunkies
at the door, but managed to get in by another
entrance. He fell into line and made his way
in fear and trembling up to the distinguished
host. То his immense surprise, the Em
greeted him in English, asked him about his
work, and, while he held up the line of the
Immortals for about five minutes, told him to
announce: to the American people his great
admiration for them and their splendid achieve-
ments. Тһеп he shook hands with the be-
wildered young writer. Тһе publication of
this interview caused a sensation, and the manner
of getting it an even greater one.

A little later, when James С. Blaine was in
Europe, all the correspondents were making
an eager search for him. Мо one knew where
he was, though he was expected in Paris in a
few days. Moffett concluded that if Mr. Blaine
was coming to the city in a few days, he must
have already written or telegraphed some hotel
for rooms. So he began a round of the Paris
hotels. Sure enough, at the Hotel Vendóme
he was shown a telegram sent by Mr. Blaine
only a few days before from Geneva. Now
that he had found him, how could he reach him?
Mr. Blaine was to arrive in Paris the next day.
Moffett hastily caught an express for Dijon,
eight bours distant from Paris, where all trains
from Geneva made connection. He searched
the trains that came through that night and
awoke every passenger on board. Finally, he
found Mr. Blaine, accosted him just as the
train was starting, contrived, in the confusion.
to get into the same compartment with his
distinguished victim, and there was the eight
hours' run straight to Paris before him! The
account of this trip, printed on Moffett's own
responsibility, as Mr. Blaine refused to author-
ize an interview, created a furore, was copied
all over this country and Europe, called forth
a vindictive statement from Mr. Blaine, and
finally provoked a personal encounter with
another correspondent. James Gordon Ben-
nett heard of this, sent for Moffett and ap-
pointed him on his European staff.

When Mr. Gladstone came home from one
of his trips, Moffett electrified the English press
by securing for the “Herald” the only inter-
view given out by the great statesman. He
obtained this by climbing upon the locomotive
of the special train and clambering down into
Mr. Gladstone's own car while the train was
under way. Тһе audacity and daring of the
act so touched Mr. Gladstone's fancy that he
granted a very satisfactory interview.

Robert J. Wynne, now United States Consul-
General at London, was, a few years ago, the
Washington correspondent of the New York
"Press" Аба dinner of the Gridiron Club
one night, Postmaster-General Henry C. Payne,
was speaking of the resignation of his assistant,
when a fellow-member suggested a new
man as the next appointee, and called his at-
tention to “that man Wynne over there."
The result of this casual remark was that Wynne
became first assistant postmaster-general.
Certain information that he had gained as a
correspondent had already convinced him that
there was corruption in the post office depart-
ment, and the subsequent investigation and un-
covering of tremendous, frauds was the direct
result of his work, first as a newspaper man,
and afterwards as a public official. Mr. Wynne
was the first Washington correspondent to lx

idol or hero. Is it strange, when our youth
find their idols smashed, and their heroes be-
traying them, that their ideals should become
blurred and twisted? Is it strange that

should ignore the old-fashioned methods of slow
fortune-making when they see the smooth, oily,
diplomatic schemers getting rich in a few months,
and voung men who were mere clerks a year
ago, now riding in costly automobiles, giving
expensive entertainments, and living in fine
houses? Why should they not catch the spirit,
and try to do the same thing themselves?

You wrongdoers in high places, if you should
live as long as Methuselah, should devote every
minute of the balance of your lives to doing
good, and should give every farthing of your
wealth to charity, you could not repair the
damage you have done in crushing the ideals
of these tens of thousands of youths who have
looked up to you as their models of successful
men. How сап vou escape responsibility for
the crookedness which may be repeated in their
lives when they shall come to fill these high
positions which you now hold? They thought
that square dealing, honesty and integrity had
been the secrets of your success, and now they
see that it was won by your smooth, oily, cun-
ning dishonesty,—your ability to deceive, to cover
your tracks, and to live a double life. Who
but yourselves will be responsible for the cracks
in their characters which may come from the
terrible shaking of their confidence in humanity?

a ES

Young men, do n't lose your faith in human-
ity,—do n't let your fallen idols shake your faith
in your fellow men,—for the great majority of
people are honest. Let these terrible examples
that have recently been held up to you make
you all the more determined to build your own
superstructure on the eternal rock of right and
justice. Let the man in you stand out so boldly
in every transaction that the deed, or task you
do, however great, will look insignificant in
comparison. Get what you can and keep your
own good name,— not a penny more. А dollar
more than that would make your whole fortune
valueless.

If there is a pitiable sight in the world, it is
that of a man with the executive ability, saga-
city, and foresight, to make a clean fortune,
yet using his energies and abilities in making
a dirty one,—a fortunes which denounces and
condemns him, and is a perpetual disgrace to
himself and his family.

The right ought to thunder so loudly in a
man’s ears, no matter what the business or
transaction in which he is engaged, that he can
not hear the wrong or baser suggestion.

Men have two kinds of ambition,—one for
dollar-making, the other forlife-making. Some
turn all their ability, education, health, and
energy toward the first of these—dollar-mak-
ing,—and call the result success. Others turn
them toward the second,—into character, use-
fulness, helpfuness, —life-making, — and the
world sometimes calls them failures; but history
calls them successes. Мо price is too great to
pay for an untarnished name.

Тһе highest service you can ever render the
world, the greatest thing you can ever do, is to
make yourself the largest, completest, and squar-
est man possible. There is no other fame like
that,—no achievement like that.

December, 1905

Suggested by Our Mail

Gorce Е. B.—You say that you are not popular,
and you do not know why, that this fact is keeping
back, and that you try to overcome it but can not.
You say that you are not invited to many places where
others are invited, and that when you do go into society
you are a wallflower; that if you force yourself into the
center of interest you quickly gravitate to the wall again;
that there seems to be a centrifugal force in you which
is ever whirling you out from the social center, no
matter how hard you try to keep in it.

Now, we judge from your letter that you are ex-
tremely sensitive, that you are easily piqued, exaggera-
ting the importance of not being especially noticed;
that you are always thinking that people are slighting
you when they are merely indifferent or thinking about
themselves, and that you imagine you are the subject
of observation when others rarely think of you in this
connection,—they are too busy wondering what others
will think of them.

Self-consciousness is one of the greatest enemies to
popularity. Many people are so conscious of their awk-
wardness and lack of experience, that they shrink from
everybody and are unable to get into "the society
swim," so to speak. They always stay on the edge, try
to gct the back seats, and keep out of sight as much as
possible.

LI B

The second, and, perhaps, the principal reason why
you are unpopular is your selfishness. It stands out
all through your letter. You are thinking of yourself
allthe time. Selfish people are never popular. The
most popular people are the most unselfish. They are
always trying to do something for others,—trying to
help and encourage others, They do not tell of their
own griefs. They are trying to help others bear their
burdens. They do not burden you with their aches
and pains, their misfortunes, or their losses. They try
to interest themselves in others and forget themselves.

You say that nobody scems to miss you when you
are away from any social gathering, or is very much
interested when you are present. The next time you
go to a social gathering, just forget yourself. See how
entertaining, how helpful, and how encouraging and
sunny youcan be. Try to interest yourself in others,
and endeavor to enter into their lives. Do not talk
about yourself all the time. Try to find out what in-
terests others. Never mind the things which you like
and always want to talk about. Just enter with your
whole soul into the lives of others and see how much
you can draw out. Hunt up the wallflowers,—the shy,
timid people. Reassure them, make them feel at home,
and introduce them to somebody else, not a selfish
person, but someone who will feel a real interest in
them. Spend the entire evening trying to interest every-
body present. You will go home with a glimpse of
a way to make yourself popular.

The moment you begin to forget yourself and interest
yourself in others vou will begin to be popular, but not

fore. Тһе way to be popular is to be helpful. People
who go into society just to see what they can get out of
it usually have to get out themselves, and that very
soon. We сап not get very much in this world without

iving. Тһе one-sided game does not pass in society.
eople who go there for polish, and to get its advan-
tages, without giving anything in return, are usually
weeded out very quickly. You must be a help to others
if you expect them to like you. То be admired, you
must make yourself lovable, respected and looked up to.

^ ^

We know a man who tries very hard to be popular,
but can not. Everybody who has ever met him knows
that he is always trying to gct a chance to talk about
himself and to tell of the wonderful things he has done
and is doing, and the great people he has met and with
whom he is on intimate terms. Не never tries to enter
into the lives of others and see what will interest them.
It is true that he is a remarkable man; but people do not
admire him, because he is such a colossal egotist. He
does not care for anybody unless he сап use him. Не
takes no real interest in you unless you can in
some way further his plans. Мо matter who starts
a conversation in a company, he will turn it to him-
self just as soon as he can. If you want to sce him on
business, no matter how brief your visit, or how impera-
tive your errand, he will begin to tell you what a tremen-
dously busy man he is, and how he is sought after by the
rich and the powerful,'and he will continue to tell you the
marvelous story of his doings until you are nauseated.
His nature is so totally wanting in all that is delicate
that he will keep boring you with his own story even
after you have hinted that your time is precious and you
must go. Тһе result is that this man, who has ability
enough to do wonderful things, and who ought to be
a tremendous power in thc land, is very circumscribed
in his influence, because everybody despises his colossal
selfishness.
because of his ability, not because he is beloved or
admired.

Another reason for your unpopularity may be that

u are not cheerful. We should judge this from your

tter. Nobody likes a long, gloomy, sad face. It
is the bright, cheerful, optimistic, encouraging, sunny
person who is universally admired. Everybody likes
sunshine, and hates darkness and gloom.

С RECORD

\
\

No other school in the world

can justly claim the distinc-

tion of having graduated so

> many record-breaking short-

hand writers as the Success Shorthand School.

No other school is presided over by such expert

shorthand writers, for its instructors are the most

practícal shorthand reporters, doing a larger busi-

ness writing shorthand than any other firm in the

world. Record in speed contests are of little value,

unless those contests are of practical work. In

this, The Success Shorthand School can justly

claim superiority, for its graduates broke all

shorthand records by delivering the full type-

written verbatim report of the National Conven-

tion of the Modern Woodmen of America one and
three-fifths seconds after adjournment,

But the most significant record is that of
graduates who have succeeded in a material way.
In this, the Success Shorthand School has no
equal, for in the two years of its existence it has
graduated more stenographers with salaries of
$100 per month and more than any other institu-
tion. George L. Gray, an eigliteen-year-old boy,
is the official court reporter of the Fourth Judicial
District of Iowa, a position worth from $2,500 to
$1000 a year, and is a graduate of this school.
Roy L. Sanner, official reporter of the Circuit
Court of Decatur, Ill., a position worth $3,000 a
year, also owes his position to the instruction re-
ceived from this school, Walter S. Taylor, offi-

cial reporter, Duluth, Minn., is another graduate
and has a position paying him $6,000 a year,
Within the last month Е. Н, Eastman has been
appointed official reporter of the Surrogate and
County Courts of Wyoming County, N. Y., with

TH

WELL-DRESSED MAN

By ALFRED STEPHEN BRYAN
Editor of “Тһе Haberdasher "

Wis December, the social season is well aswing,

and dinners, dances, and other formal functions
tread closely upon one another. Men dress more
punctiliously when they are to undergo the scrutiny
of searching eyes, and choosing the proper collar, the
right cravat, and the other articles of dress becomes
a matter of moment. We have happily reached a
stage where dress is esteemed at its true worth. The
cheap jibes and shallow sncers leveled at the man
who dresses carefully, who concedes something to the
proprieties of life and social intercourse, who strives
to make his manner of dress conform to time, occasion,
and circumstance, fall pointless and harmless. The
habitual railer at fashion should be clad in a “ Mother
Hubbard” and relegated to the attic, with a parrot
and a spinning wheel as companions. He is out of
tune with the times and out of step with his generation.
Spreading culture and widening appreciation of the
niceties of living havc raised dress to its rightful plane
in the scheme of things, and invested it with the dignity
and importance that are its duc.

ж ж ж

In nothing else does the average man show taste ог
the want of it so clearly as in the choice of his fancy
waistcoat. Here no hard-and-tight rules hedge him,
and consequently the temptation to embrace the odd
and startling is strong. Men whose taste in dress is
otherwise impeccable will sometimes wear beflowered
and bedotted waistcoats which might become a hood-
lum out on a holiday, but which have no place in the
wardrobe of a gentleman. The very fancy waistcoat
is “out of it” this season, and the plainer the cut and
the simpler the pattern, the better the garment accords
with fashion and fitness. Day waistcoats have broad,
low-lying lapels, cut with a bit of a peak, and may be
single or dpuhile-bressted: Flannel is particularly
favored for morning and lounge wear, and neat stripes,
and indeterminate checks arc always effective patterns.
Waistcoats with taped or braided edges have been so

In publishing this chart of the different styles in men's collars, we hope to supply a long-felt want. A

Plain linen handkerchiefs are now preferred to silk-

the simple linen affair as in better taste than showier
ones, and notwithstanding the whinisicalities of fashion,
the plain white linen handkerchief, with the wearer's
monogram embroidered in white, will always be used.
While I am on the subject of monograms, let me say
that a monogram is now put upon virtually every
article that a gentleman wears. You will find it on
shirts, handkerchiefs, mufflers, gloves, waistcoats, hose,
undersuits, pajamas, lounging jackets, dressing gowns,
bath slippers, bath robes, beth mats, dnd soon. А
monogram should be inconspicuous and should have
the attitude of usefulness, serving as a means of identi-
fication. Monograms so large and flaunting that they
resemble the initialing on the back of a motor car be-
token a vulgarian. Just where the monogram habit
ought to end is hard to say, but, kept within limits,
it is in good form. Every man who , and not
merely hangs clothes upon bimself, likes to have his
personality accentuated, and this the monogram ac-
complishes.

Fur overcoats аге іп good form every winter, though
their high cost is prohibited to general wear. Unless
the fur be of the best quality, it is better to dispense
with an overcoat of this kind. Nothing could in
worse taste than make-believe furs, intended to trick
the eye into believing them to be what they аге not.
Coats are lined with mink, Persian lamb, sable, scal,
unplucked land otter, sea otter, black genet, and
beaver. A cheap fur overcoat is always to be avoided,
because it looks what it is and does not last.

men are firmly addicted to
the belt habit, the effect of
their athletic training. Belts
are worn the year round by
many men, black calf being
used for day dress, and patent
leather to accompany еуепіп)

clothes. A man’s physic

conformation has much to do
with wearing a belt comfort-
ably. Some men absolutely
can not forswear suspenders.
It takes a man broad of hip
and trim of waist to make a
belt “stay put.” But he who
can wear a belt with comfort
would not return to the
tyranny of suspenders for а
king’s ransom. Sashes were
introduced a few years ago to
take the place of belts, but
they never won countenance.
Their day was short, for they
had no practical value. There
is а s tion of effeminacy
about the sash that renders
it wholly unacceptable to the man of the period,

Overslippers made of stockinctte cloth are worn
over patent-leather shoes to prevent them from getting
soiled on muddy nights. In going to a social function
after dark, which demands evening clothes and patent-
leather shoes, these overslippers are put on to keep the
shoes clean and the feet dry. They are inexpensive,
(twenty cents a pair,) and may be discarded after one
wearing.

Dress ties аге tolerably wide, but excessive width
tends to clumsiness and
is, therefore, to be avoid-
ed. Linens are preferred
to lawns as in better form
and firmer for knotting.
The best width for the
evening tie is two inches,
and it is cut with square
ends as hitherto. Corded
and fi weaves аге
particularly favored this
season instead of the
*plain." Great latitude
is allowed in the evening
jacket tie, which may be
black or gray, have square
or pointed ends and be

lain, spotted, or figured.

he ties with satin center
stripes are notably smart
this season. With full
evening dress, either white
or black may be worn,
but with a “Tuxedo”
the white tie only is the accepted form.

Dress Hints and Helps

It is odd, but true, that the average man knows
nothing of a multiplicity of little dress helps and
accessories that would simplify his task. These helps,
while, perhaps, unimportant in themselves, become
important as fitting parts of an harmonious whole.
It is а truism that regard for detail makes а man well-
dressed,—the incidentals are almost as important as
the essentials. Do you know,
for instance:—

That ‘the best dress-suit
cases have plain, slightly
rounded corners and are
made of one solid piece of
sole leather, and that “ca

" corners, are frequently
intended to hide the pasted
edges found on sheepskin
cases?

That there aresuch things
аз“ glove trees,” which per-
form for gloves the same
duty that “ boot trees" per-
form for boots?

That E and polo leg-

ings are made of calf, pig-
6 ooze leather and ed
cloth, and that spiral puttee
leggings come with or with-
out spats?

That folding rubber
bathtubs are an English
idea for the traveler who
may get far from the refine-
ments of civilization?

half-mitts, as their name
implies, cover only the palm

“Тһе Test of a Sincerely-
Made Coat

AY the Coat flat on a table, as shown in the

picture.

If the Collar then lies s/rafgA/and true,
at turn-over line, and at outer edge, you may rely
upon the Coat being free from //а1-/ғот faking.

If the Collar lies wrinkled and wavy toward
outer edge, when the turn-over line is straight,
then look out for a speedy Zoss of shape.

Because, such a Coat has probably been cut.
and made up, in a faulty manner.

And its faulty form, and faulty workmanship,
had to be covered femporartly by Flat-Iron
faking, in order to sell it.

You know "Dr. Goose" (the Tailor's hot press-
ing iron) is the ready "quack" for cases like
these —shrinking out temporarily а fulness
here, or s/re/ching out a tightness there; that
should have been permanently removed by sin-
cere hand-necdle-work instead.

And this Flat-Iron faking т07//5 out as soon as
the garment is worn in damp weather,

—Then the Collar binds down on the back
of your neck—

—Then the left Lapel bulges up away from
the vest—

—Then the Cloth wrinkles and looks humpy
over your shoulder blades, and— |

—Then the Armholes pinch you at every
movement.

These are some of the defects which are
usually masked by the hot flat-iron, till the Con-
sumer has bought, paid for, and worn, the tricky
garment a week or so.

No other makers of
Clothes have, so far as we
know, volunteered a /es/ by
which Flat-Iron faking
could be detected, by the
consumer before he had
bought and paid for the
garments.

We volunteer such a tes? because every garment
we make is меген worked into shepe by hand-
needle-work, instead of by the tricky flat-iron.

And we honestly believe that 80 per cent. of all
other Clothes are shaped by the hot pressing iron.

It costs a great deal more to permanently
shape clothes, as we do, by sincere hand-needle-
work, than to fake them temporarily into shape
by the Flat-Iron,

That's why we want credit, and appreciation,
from you, Mr. Reader, for the sincerity of our
workmanship, and of our style-retention method,

We could not hope to get credit for the great
difference in construction without providing you
with a /angible means by which any Consumer
can, for himself, /es/ that difference.

The extra cost of making Clothes by our
Sincerity System saves you much in the pressing-
up of your Clothes, from time to time, during the
life of them.

Because, a garment fully shaped by the needle
segaires pressing only at very long intervals, if
at all,

A garment faked into shape by the hot Flat-
Iron must be re-shaped, by the same faky system,
(pressed) every lime il is worn іп dam,
weather, or it will look shapeless and deformed.

If it is worth anything to you Mr. Reader, to
wear clothes that Ao/d their shape, and look as
good as they are, till worn out, then be careful to

Questions About Dress

[Readers of Success MAGAZINE are invited to ask any ques-
tions which puzzle them about good form in dress. No names
will be used here, but every inquirer must attach his name аз а
pledge of sincerity. It is suggested that the questions asked be
of general, rather than personal ipterest.]

ҚА W. G.—The bridegroom and the best man dress
ali They wcar black or gray frock coats, waist-
coats of white linen duck, cut double-breasted, white
shirts with cuffs attached, and poke or lap-front collars.
The cravats are of delicate pearl or y, tied in
the ascot or once-over form, and fastened with a pearl
or opal pin. The boots are buttoned patent-leather or
varnished calfskin, and the gloves are light gray suède
or white duck, to match the cravat. The hats are silk,
and they are carried in the right hand. It is customary
for the ushers to dress as much like the bridegroom
and best man as is possible. Ushers wear gloves while
rforming their duties. If the bridegroom wears new
Coots, it is well to have the soles blacked, as they will
show when he kneels. The bridegroom fees the
clergyman. Five dollars is the minimum and eL
five dollars is the maximum amount for this
He also fees the sexton, if the church be use Pes re-
hearsal and provides the marriage ring, the bride's
boquet, and the boquets of the bridesmaids. He also
presents to his best man and ushers either cravat pins
or cuff buttons as keepsakes, The carriages for the
ushers, as well as the one used by himself and his
best man, are provided by the bridegroom, and he
also secures the carriage in which he and his bride are
to drive away.

Тһе Gospel of Laughter
By Alfred |. Waterhouse

Gospel of laughter, he preached it to me,
Man who once troubled and wearied himself.
Keep the world smiling and glad, said he;
Mirth is a helpful, benevolent elf.
Ha ha ha! ha ha ha! ho ho ho ho!
Never keep worry and bother about;
Smile at your trouble, it's likely to go,—
Laughter's spontaneous; tears are squeezed out.

Gospel of laughter: World wants to laugh,—
So said my teacher, and he ought to know,—
Rather o'erfed on adversity's chaff;
Wishes its risibles given a show.
Ha ha ha! ha ha ha! ho ho ho ho!
This is the creed that sets trouble to rout,
Makes us forget the cares that we know,—
Laughter's spontaneous; tears are squeezed out.

Gospel of laughter: World has a song;

Tune your soul to it, it's easy to catch.
Better go cheery and smiling along;

Dimples of laughter find thousands to match.
Ha ha ha! ha ha ha! ho ho ho ho!

Fling a defiance,—ha ha ha!—to doubt;
Never give worry—ho ho ho!—a show,—

Laughter's spontaneous; tears are squeezed out.

What System Will Do

It will produce more work and of a better quality.

It will clear the mind of cobwebs and of brain-ash.

It will increase your business and decrease your
expenses.

t will increase effectiveness, lengthen life, and make
it worth living.

It will foster the habits of promptness, thoroughness,
and decision.

It will increase the respect of your employees and
your ponnani with them.

It wil
than others of much greater ability.

It will make you happier, because your life will be
more orderly and more harmonious.

It will increase your efficiency, because it will increase
your self-confidence and self-respect.

It will simplify a mass of perplexing details and give
you freedom for larger, creative work.

It will save the results of your labor, so that you will
not have to do things over and over again.

It will increase your self-respect, self-faith, and hence
will increase others' respect and confidence in you.

It will increase others' confidence in you, because
everybody believes in the man of system and of order.

It will enable you to make better use of your experi-
ence, and save you from pitfalls and business disasters.

It will enable you to find anything you want im-
mediately, instead of losing valuable time hunting for it.

It will create the habit of doing things to a finish,
moons of the slipshod, slovenly habit of half-doing
things.

It will make you presentable at all times, because the
systematic man is never slipshod or slovenly in his person
or dress.

It will act as a great encourager, because there is no
tonic like the consciousness of being master of what
one undertakes.

It will have a broadening influence upon your mind,
increasing the creative faculty, so that you can think
better, plan better, and reason more clearly.

It will make leisure. A man of organizing ability
has time to see his friends, to go to amusements, to
travel, because his system is working for him,

It makes a splendid substitute for capital because
it increases confidence. Everybody believes in the
man who can make a programme and carry it out.

It will make you a more agreeable man, because
mental confusion fags the brain, increases nervousness
and tends to make one melancholy and pessimistic.

It will promote health by eliminating worry and that
petty anxiety which comes from not feeling the absolute
ability to clearthe atmosphere about you of little,vexing,
harassing details.

It will make a man better balanced, better poised
mentally, and more optimistic, and the future will
not terrorize him, because he will feel that he is equal
to any emergency which may arise in his affairs.

A good system shortens the road to the goal, and re-
lieves the mind of a thousand and one perplexities and
anxieties, besides detail and drudgery through which
the orderless man goes. The systemless man never
learns the magic of management. The mind can
not work effectively and economically without a pro-
gramme. The secret of success, especially in a large
enterprise, lies with the man who can make the pro-

mme, and the man who has the ability to multiply
imself in others.—O. S. M.

Baron Rosen's Straw Hat
By J. HERBERT WELCH

MS: of the railroad station at Oyster Bay
e happy hunting ground of newspaper ге rters
and паа iae who desire to interview and make
peus of the personages who journey to the little
ng Island village to see President Roosevelt when he

is ensconced in his
summer home on Sag-
amore Hill. The dis-
tinguished visitor
whom Julius, the pres-
idential coachman,
drives down from **the
hill” hardly ever
makes a connection
with his train that is
close enough to enable
him to avoid at least
a minute or two on the
pases and in this
rief interval the re-
рева. group, who
ie in wait, frequently
draw from him state-
ments or hints that be-
come, the next morn-
ing, breakfast table
talk throughout the
land. It is here also
that knights of the
camera obtain snapshots that cause the great public
to wonder at the unimpressive appearance of many

at men.

Shortly before the convening of the peace commission
at Portsmouth, Baron Rosen, the Russian am dor,
who had just returned from an interview with the
President, stood with his back to the station, pleasantly
trying to say nothing to thc newspaper men. А youn
man behind a camera, who had m» hovering 2Î
the outskirts of the group, suddenly raised his voice and
said:

“Excuse me, Baron, but I am very anxious to take
a picture of you. Will you other gentlemen please
step aside for a few seconds?”

“Wait a moment, wait a moment!" exclaimed the
Baron, in alarm. “ You must not doit. 1 can not allow
it.”

“But, but, why not, Baron?” inquired the photog-
rapher, surprised at the ambassador's apparent agita-
tion over so everyday a matter as a snapshot.

“Why,” cried the latter, “don’t you see that I am
wearing a straw hat with my frock coat? The hot
weather is my excuse for not wearing a silk one, but
what would the world say, what would the sticklers in
St. Petersburg say if they should know that I had

DVSTAR BAY

called on the President in the execrable combination of |

a frock coat and a straw hat?”

The Baron seemed to think that this disposed of the
matter of the photograph, but the camera man said,
smiling] y:—

“Please allow me to suggest, Baron, that you take
off your straw hat and let the young man beside you
hold it fora moment. It will not appear in the picture.’

The Baron laughed with the others at his defeat, and,
with the straw hat out of sight, assumed a statesman-
БЕ attitude as the youth with the camera pressed the

utton.

Christmas
By Agnes M. Matthews

The stars are shining as once, long ago,

They shone upoan the world's Messiah King;
Actoss the darkness falls а radiance,—

"Tis midnight, and again the angels sing.

Again the glory of that distant day
Breaks through the face of aight upon our eyes,
Aad lo! the light that through the centurics shines
Is burst with morning's splendor іа the skies.

Again, though ages bow their silvery heads,
God smiles on all the world in visions mild,

To lead us oa to where wide heaven lies
Within the cradle of а acw-born child.

О, souls of men, awake and thrill anewl
О, love, apon the carth thy mantle fing!
And joy and peace, reign everywhere, to-day,
For still, within орг hearts, the angels sing.

“A Road of a Thousand Wonders," beginning in the
sun-blessed land of oeroetna spring. winding along the
clitf-studded coast of the blue Pacific. plunging through
valleys of fruit and flowers, over billowing hills and
majestic mountains, around and around snow-crowned
Shasta into the Rose City of Oregon.
That, in а word is the COAST LINE AND SHASTA
ROUTE of the Southern Pacific Company, from Los Angeles
to Portland; 1360 miles of the most inspiring. bewildering,
educational, health-bestowing country that wonder-lover ever
dreamed about,

Every turn of the COAST LINE AND SHASTA ROUTE
isa revelation, Every mile gives new coloring, new life, new
greatness to this evar caning panorama, and you must not
stop until you reach the end, for even if yan live as long as the
world endures, you will never find another trip that equals
“Тһе Road of a Thousand Wonders.”

A FEW OF THE THOUSAND

Leaving behind with many a regret, Los Angeles, the City
of Angels, the country where every day is Мау-дау, with its
orange groves and garlands of flowers, its palm-bordered vistas,
its seaside and mountains, the first stop should be
CAMULOS
the home of Helen Hunt jacens "Ramona." The old
ranch house, the quaint old chapel, the Indian pestle and mor-
tars, the stone olive presses of a hundred years ago, are all
here amid oranges and lemons, walnut, olive and rose trees.
ЗАМ BUENAVENTURA
Here is the first of the many old Spanish missions you visit
on the COAST LINE AND SHASTA ROUTE, each one
charming you with its rare art treasures, priceless books,
ancient robes of the Franciscan Friars, and sweet toned bells
on their rawhide thongs, ringing as they did over
а hundred years аро. At San Buenaventura you
could listen for a week to the lore of Father Grogan,
but “Тһе Road of a Thousand Wonders" calls
you to see the most gorgeous series of marine and
Mountain masterpieces Nature ever painted. For
а century of miles and more the train threads the

қоға foothills and mountains withina stone
fip of the ever changing Pacific. Every curve,
кеге bend of the roadway displays another picture,
until you are fairly spellbound with the Flory of it
all. In the meantime you have stopped at beautiful
SANTA BARBARA
where spring and summer keep house together the
year round, and welcome you alike in December
and July.

The magnificent Hotel Potter: the never-tirin
drives; the invigorating sea bathing ; the awe o
the mountains; the inspiration of the flowers; the
fascination of fishing and catching something
worth while; the charm of the Santa Barbara Mis-
sion, where sombre-robed friars welcome everyone
as they did the hidalgos in days of yore, all this and
more you will find to hold you at ^anta Barbara
but the train arrives and your itinerary says “all
aboard" for PISMO. This is a new resort where
the never silent waves have formed а 22-mile beach
of indescribable beauty and planned the greatest
bathing Mecca of future generations. From Pismo
it is but a step to
SAN LUIS OBISPO
where the ا‎ Fathers wrought another
link in their chain of Missions, Here also is the

location of Fremont's earthworks, making
` «2 San Luis Obispo one of (һе important his-
м torical points in California.
d^. From San Luis Obispo the COAST LINE
. .AND SHASTA ROUTE of the Southern
Pacific Company follows the path of the padres
over the heights of the Santa Lucia Mountains to

indescribable you want to be alone to compass them with the
mind, to believe that what you see is really true.

Next you halt at San Jose, іп the Santa Clara Valley, that
sea of blossoms, where six million trees in bloom make the
cherry blossoms of Japan look like a pea patch. Here, with
the Hotel Vendome as headquarters yon visit Santa Clara,
with its relic-stored Mission, and that tombamong the clouds—
THE ІЛСК OBSERVATORY
Like a castle from the goblin book mother read, the Lick Ob-
servatory shines white and clear on the summit of Mt, Hamil-
ton, from which сап be seen the mosaic panorama of the
Santa Clara Valley; the rugged peaks of the Santa Cruz
mountains; the bay of San Francisco; the restless Pacific far
beyond; the San Joaquin Valley and the snow-capped sum-
mits of the Sierras.

_ From San Jose to San Francisco the COAST LINE AND
SHASTA ROUTE of the Southern Pacific Company is a
myriad of surprises until you reach Palo Alto, the home of
that great educational monument,

THE STANFORD UNIVERSITY

a work of love in which thirty millions of dollars have been
devoted to completing the ndest temple of learning ever
erected. Moorish architecture of the early California
Missions, the perfectly equip buildings, each a college іп
itself, are alone worth hours o амар, The Memorial Chapel,
callis you back again and again to marvel at the mosaic
covered walls, the memorial windows of stained glass, the

altar of pure white Carrara, the pulpit of stone and priceless
bronze lectern. Тһе glory of the coloring as the golden sun
allt masterpieces of the Old World,

gives startling life to
olds you spellbound and thoughtful, and when you step
uietly away it is with the greatest reverence in the heart for

those who have blessed the world with such an edifice.

SAN FRANCISCO

the gateway to the Orient, the егес commerce to come, the
ost fascinating metropolis of this or any other agr, com-

mands you to forget there is such a thing as time, and invites

you to dwell within her gates, and see those sights which

make of her the Naples, the Rome, the Paris, the Budapest,

of America. >

With the famous Palace Hotel or the luxurious St, Francis
asa center, a different tripcan be taken every day in the year
and some of the nights, in seeing the Golden Gate with its
tropical park; the Presidio, where Uncle Sam guards the har-
bor; Alcatraz Island, the military prison of the Pacific; Fort
Winfield Scott; Fort Mason; the Navy Yard on Mare Island;
Mt.Tamalpais; the Cliff House, Seal Rocksand Sutro Heights,
not forgettin, Chinatown with allits mystery and Suport tion.

From San Francisco the COAST LINE AND SHASTA
ROUTE of the Southern Pacific Company carries you direct-
ly northward through the picturesque Sacramento Valley, to
the stage on which was played the first act in the drama of '49.
SACRAMENTO

То those who love the history of their land, the capital of
California is an inexhaustible archive, a city of landmarks,the
most important of which is the Fort of General Sutter, the
place to which foun Marshall brought the news of the first
discovery of ро а. Sutter's Fort is now a veritable museum
of the days o 49:

The Crocker Art Gallery of the capital city, adds an extra at-
traction for lovers of rare old art, its walls being covered with
the finest collection of Dutch and Flemish treasures in America,

North from Sacramento this wonderful road of the Southern
Pacific Company lies through а Garden of Eden. Every town
holds somet ing of interest—Yuba City, Marysville, Chico,
Vina, Red Bluff, Redding, all extending an inviting hand to
the sight-seeker, the hunter, the fisherman, the investor, At
CHICO
Uncle Sam has established his Plant Introduction Station,
where marvelous experiments are carried on the year round in
the culture of flowers, fruits, nuts and нерге for the bene-
fit of mankind. From here the "Road of a Thousand Won-
ders" climbs through the beautiful canyon of the Sacramento,
winding, turning, twisting, tunneling with every caprice of the

old-laden river, parallel with rugged s, peaks and table-
ands until the eyes shut in sheer bewilderment to open in

is that superlative of all mountain resorts,

situated on a plateau amid an endless succession of moun-
tains, forests, streams, cascades, wonderful water-falls and
mineral springs—the fount of Shasta Water, that De
